Finnish orchestra, founded by Klaus Salmi in the end of the 1920s in Helsinki; disbanded officially in 1952, even though the orchestra backed some Finnish artists after that. First recording published was "Muistan sua, Elaine" in 1931 (through Homocord). In 1937-38 the orchestra performed and recorded with Matti Jurva. Due to the various styles the orchestra performed, the members often played several instruments. Also the line-up of the group changed various times, but here is an incomplete list of the members: Klaus Salmi - trombone, trumpet, French horn, cello Tommy Wilfred Tuomikoski - saxophone, clarinet (died in 1937) Leo Adamson - guitar Merle Wilkin - sousaphone Lelle Andersen - tenor saxophone Alvar Kosunen - trumpet Eero Hyvärinen - piano Asser Fagerström - piano Aarre Koskela - piano (until 1935) Toivo Kärki - piano, accordion (joined 1935) Jomi Leino - drums Gösta "Hageli" Hagelberg - drums Eddy Rönnqvist - saxophone Kaarlo Valkama - saxophone, clarinet, violin Eero Väre - alto saxophone, clarinet, violin Sulo "Poti" Alatalo - trumpet Hilding Bäckström - guitar, bass
