Internatonal Montserrat Barcelona (Francisca Montserrat), founded in 1870, in Barcelona, ​​Calle Conde de Asalto, 30. Gold medal at the 1929 Barcelona International Exhibition. In 1870, the Montserrat family began to build instruments and a music shop. Around 1900, Francisca Montserrat, the widow of the founder Francisco Montserrat, took over, as indicated by the brands on the instruments. They made their own brass instruments such as the euphonium, tuba, trumpet and slide trombone. In 1932, they registered a patent to make an improved version of the saxophone, and thus became the first Spanish factory to produce this instrument. Even then, the factory was headed by a woman: Francisca Montserrat i Virgili (1881 to 1969). During the post-war years, Montserrat became a reference in the manufacture and distribution of instruments, especially wind instruments, and was the official supplier of instruments for the Barcelona Municipal Band. They closed at the end of the 1970s.
