F.A. Reynolds Single French Horns

The F.A. Reynolds Single Horn in F was presumably developed at the same time as Reynolds' earliest known double horns. The earliest documented Bb single horn dates from 1946/47, just after Scherl & Roth bought the Reynolds company. In 1949, both F.A. Reynolds single horns, Bb and F, were rebranded as Contempora model horns.
