I don't recall this ever being discussed and a quick google didn't turn up anything. Who were they? For starters even, how many brothers were there? When did they live/die? Seeking biographical information.

Wow, has this thread gone south fast, or what?! Chitown, I gather nobody knows the answer to your question, so far at least. . . . .

Then again, headcheese is tasty too.

You, my friend, are disgusting.

Ralph used to say that Ed and Frank Meyer started on the bench at Selmer, along with another guy named Otto Link.

There is a lot of history information on the Meyer Brothers in this excellent article that Frank Morgan did for Saxophone Journal many years ago.

Ralph Morgan.
Though there's a fair amount of info about the mouthpieces there, in scanning the article I saw little biographical information.
