Hinger Collection

Fred Hinger, renowned percussionist and timpanist, had a profound effect on the world of percussion due to his innovative approach to sound production and his development of innovative mallets, snare drums and tympani. Mr. Hinger, along with his son, Bill, began and ran the Hinger Touch –Tone Company from the late 1960s through 1986. The Hinger Collection presented below includes memorabilia, personal instruments played by Mr. Hinger, and instruments developed as prototypes for the Hinger Touch-Tone Company. We’re honored to present this unique collection and hope our site visitors recognize and cherish these historic items as we do.
