Hinger Private Collection Now Available
A rare opportunity to own memorabilia and personal instruments collected and played by Fred D Hinger, famous percussionist/timpanist. This collection also includes unique instruments and protoypes developed for the Hinger Touch Tone Corporation.
This is a beautiful pair of Slingerland paddle castagnettes as shown in the attached 1928 Slingerland catalog. They have an ebonized maple paddle with two pairs of ebony castagnettes attached. Each individual ebony castagnette has a nice Slingerland logo carved into its back. All paint is original and in near perfect condition. There are no cracks or chips anywhere on the instrument. This was a popular trap from the early silent movie and vaudeville days and one was shown in the catalog with any of the complete outfits offered at this time. This makes a nice addition to any period Slingerland outfit or traps collection.
