Beautiful pair of early Hinger Touch-Tone timpani mallets with bamboo shafts. The bamboo shafts on this pair of mallets are in excellent condition with no cracks or chips in the finish. They are beautifully balanced and almost perfectly straight. This is an early pair of sticks from the Hinger Touch-Tone company with the Touch-Tone logo and trademark burned into each shaft.The felt is in excellent condition but the heads may have been recovered. The original red tape is in placce indicating the hardness as "hard". The handles are a type of soft rubber that we believe are original to the sticks. It is very hard to find a pair of vintage timpani sticks with bamboo handles in fine condition. This is a highly collectible pair of sticks that will serve as fine mallets for many years to come.
