Re: R.I.P. Rudi Meinl Sr
Wow, what a shame. He was a man I wanted to meet for years. I met Gerhard Meinl and Peter Hirsbrunner, but never him. Rest in peace, sir.

Re: R.I.P. Rudi Meinl Sr
Very sorry to hear that. Do you know how old he was?
Gerhard Meinl and Rudy Sr. in the same year... :(

A biography from Brian Fredericksen’s website.
It gives Herr Meinl’s birthday and some interesting facts about his life.
Despite saying “Jr.” at the top, it’s a typo: the biography is indeed about the elder Meinl.

Re: R.I.P. Rudi Meinl Sr
Played one of his tubas today and am picking up another one next week! There really aren't many of the old masters around anymore.
