This is NOT Tiny Kahn. It’s REMO BELLI (yes, THAT Remo), taken in the 1960s at his small drum head factory. How do I know? Remo gave me a copy of this same photo when I visited his factory in 1963. J. Tobias
As soon as I saw the pic I knew it wasn’t Tiny Kahn. Glad to see Jerry Tobias straighten things out…
Fee Fi Fo Fum, I smell my drum with an Englishman! Be he live or be he dead, I’ll grind his bones to make my bread!
