In about 500 churches throughout India, one musical instrument manufacturer’s equipments are used for Sunday prayers.  John George is this enabler of music and his firm is ‘Reginald Music Industries’, founded in Chennai in 1981.

Even as a youth he was prepared to buy damaged electronic instruments and use available electronic spare parts to rectify them.

An order from Holy Trinity CSI Church, Chennai for an organ costing Rs.12000 set him thinking on the commercial possibilities of manufacturing musical instruments.

With the emphasis given to customer satisfaction, his equipments were able to win many orders.  In addition to the work through Reginalds, he was able to accomplish other milestones as an employee of Akashavani.

George, who joined AIR as Technical Assistant and retired as Class 1 Engineer in 1985, was instrumental in the installation of 120 amplified speakers for 26 FM stations.  His other noteworthy achievements include channel music speakers for export quality Railway coaches, Public Address system for Institute of Mentally Handicapped, Hyderabad etc.

His personally gratifying moment came when Yesudas sang at a wedding reception in Chennai using the PA system of Reginald alone.
