R - Reynolds, Rudolf Meinl

Rudolf Meinl belongs to 'M'

How about going to Horn-u-copia and looking at all the names here?

The pull down menu on the left side of the window has several hundred names of companies, I even found a "Q!" And "X!" (one made Alto Horns and the other only a Cornet...)

I = Inderbinen

X = Xuqiu

Low brass, not cornets and alto horns.

Did anyone mention Kalison?

The whole point is not a compendium, but an "ABC" book to show that bass players span the entire spectrum. It's just fun to see what is what, and who has played what. Hey, bloke posts these threads all the time and nobody complains! I'm not writing a book, or compiling an almanac. Just having fun.
