Heriba

_This is a tragic story. Herbert Bauerfeind was an absolute specialist for nylon plectrums. On April 11 1979, a German Luftwaffe Phantom fighter crashlanded on his factory. Heriba went up in flames, and Herbert Bauerfeind was still in the building.

He was seriously burnt and died a few days later aged 47. The pilot, who was also coincidentally from the same village and the co-pilot both died too.

His son and widow carried on making picks. Heriba still manufactures nylon plectrums, utilizing the know-how Herbert Bauerfeind accumalated during his lifetime. Nylon is their specialty, and they know how to use it.
