The current business consists of a portfolio of firms or brands that embody creativity, entrepreneurship, and a commitment to musical excellence. With operations in Elkhart, Indiana, the Selmer Company, which included brands such Vincent Bach, Selmer, Emerson, Ludwig, Musser, and Glaesel, was a trailblazer in American workmanship.

United Musical Instruments, like the Selmer Company, was founded on the backs of brands like C.G. Conn, King, Benge, Armstrong, Artley, and Scherl & Roth. The G.Leblanc Corporation was purchased by the Conn-Selmer Company in 2005. Another family of brand names, including Leblanc, Vito, Holton, Martin, and Yanagisawa, were added to the largest full-line maker of band and orchestra instruments in the United States.
