A Henry Distin Coffee Mug is a perfect conversation starter

The Distins first established themselves as instrument makers in London. Henry Distin established an instrument manufacturing and sales concern, Distin & Co., in London after 1849. He sold Adolph Sax’s instruments alongside his own traditional brass instruments. Following receipt of a prize medal for the superiority of his instruments over European competitors at the Paris World’s Exposition, in 1868, he sold the business including a shop on Cranbourne to what would become the Boosey company and later Boosey and Hawkes. The acquisition of Distin’s brass instrument manufacturing positioned Boosey to become a well-respected brass instrument company in the late 19th through mid-20th century. Distin would subsequently lose most of his money on concert schemes and other ventures within a few years. After Distin sold the family firm to Boosey & Co. he immigrated to the US in 1877, first setting up shop as an instrument maker in New York and later opening the Henry Distin Manufacturing Co. in Williamsport, Pennsylvania in 1886. Henry Distin remained a performer and marketer of brass instruments. At the age of 70, he was still performing, playing “Tis the Last Rose of Summer” on an E-flat Tuba with the Gilmore Band in 1889 while attending the concert for the original purpose of presenting one of his company’s horns to, Patrick Gilmore. His innovative designs helped to shape cornet and drum making in America.
