Professional Artists

Early Reynolds catalogs, advertisements and other marketing materials featured dozens of prominent professional artists, band directors and students who were associated with Reynolds at one point or another in their careers. However, after the sale of Reynolds to Richards Music in 1961 (and eventual merger with F.E. Olds in 1964), artist endorsements disappear completely from the catalogs.

The purpose of this website is to preserve the history of the F. A. Reynolds Company and the distinctive qualities of its brass instruments. Contempora Corner and contemporacorner.com are not related or associated in any way to the former or current F.A. Reynolds Company.
