| Re: roth reynolds Trumpet Cornets?? It plays very well for me. Mine is in very good condition. Seems to have a "sweeter" tone than my other cornet. I also have the original Mouthpiece and it plays easily at any volume level and dexterity level ( not real high for me ) Here is some history from Contempora Corner web site:The Roth cornet was originally manufactured by Ohio Band Instrument co, F.A . Reynolds' student instrument manufacturing division. Advertisemments for Roth instruments in general exist from 1940; the earlist recorded Roth cornet is SN 22877 (1941),. After the corporate sale to Scherl and Roth in 1946, Reynolds continued to produce Roth instruments under the Ohio Band name intil 1950, then briefly under the "F.A. Reynolds" label until they wer rebranded as "Roth-Reynolds" instruments circa 1952. I think that line was discontinured in 1961. If you give the serial number we can date the horn fairly closely. Here is a promotional statement put out in 1953: Roth Trumpets and cornets-the greatest value in band instruments today! Designed to gurantee maximum quality at a minimum investment. Carefully made and modern in design, this model is ideal for student musicians. Hand-lapped, nickel silver pistons for yesrs of service. Ease of blowing means young musicians will learn quickly, play proficiently and enjoy their instrument. Durable brass with clear lacquer finish and complete with new design trunk style case and special fittings.

Roth-Reynolds went out of production in the late 1960's or early 1970's. This means that no dealer currently handles them. Like my buddy Dave,( MFFan ), I too have a Roth cornet and several Reynolds trumpets and cornets. OLDLOU>>
