Founded in Indianapolis and later spun off from Lyon & Healy in 1908, Regal became a prominent supplier of stringed instruments to wholesalers across America.

It also includes an in-depth guide to identifying and dating some of Regal's most notable instruments, accompanied by full-color photographs.
