Steve Swan said this about Joh. Hammig double basses:

The wholesaler was the now defunct J.M. Sahlein of South San Francisco. Their old office and warehouse is less than 3 miles from my shop. Like the "Roderich Paesold" brand name (a bowmaker who never made instruments), "Hammig" is an appropriated name for distributed basses made by Hofner. The Hammig basses were used extensively in northern California for public schools and private teachers.
