Johnny Reinhard
Johnny Reinhard (1956- ) is a microtonal composer, bassoonist and conductor.

He studied at the Manhattan School of Music and at Columbia. He taught at New York University. Notable compositions by Reinhard include "Dune" (1990), "Cosmic rays" (1995), "Middle-Earth" (1999), "Talibanned Buddhas" (2000), and "Semantics of tone" (2007).[1] He reconstructed and performed Charles Ives' Universe symphony in 1996.[2][3]
On the album Odysseus he collaborated with guitarist John Schneider.
He is a member of Trio on the Cuff, as of 2005 the world's only bassoon (Reinhard), didgeridoo (Ulrich Krieger), and miscellaneous percussion (Yoshiaki Ochi) trio.
