| John Ericson, in his blog, was talking about the Reynolds Pottag French horn, He said it was introduced in the 1940s and was produced until 1961. In the early stages of the Reynolds Double Horn, Reynolds contracted Max Pottag, long-time second horn with the Chicago Symphony to promote sales of the new horn. By the mid 1940s, Reynolds was marketing their double horn as the Pottag Model. In 1947, Pottag retired from the CSO after 40 years of playing and began teaching at Northwestern.
Max Pottag The Reynolds Double French Horn is a most sensitively responding instrument and has an unusually easy-speaking upper register - so important to Horn players. Its wondrous tone quality, complete even range and sureness is noteworthy. I am using it exclusively, love it and I am happy indeed to recommend it to any French Horn player.
John says it has a good upper register, and the intonation is a bit squirrely but manageable. It is pretty responsive but the strength of this horn would seem to me to be the tone. It has a very nice sound, they did get something really right about the bell and tapers and metal thickness and temper.
He also told of a 2008 test conducted by Ken Pope at the IHS Denver horn workshop. When the reviewers did not know what horn was being played, they loved the tone, but when they found out it was a Reynolds, they hated it!
