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.
Vintage pair of Hinger Touch-Tone "red" xylophone mallets in NOS (new old stock) condition. This pair has a 1 1/8" hard rubber head suitable for xylophone and upper register marimba playing. This larger size head produces a fuller sound due to the extra weight. The shafts are 3/8" round reed. The round reed material is rattan with the smooth skin removed which is straight and even in thickness. The shafts are 14 1/2" long, the overall length is 15 5/8". Each mallet has the original red tape under the head and each shaft has a clear red ink Hinger stamp. The extra thin bllue tape was added by the previous owner but these pairs of sticks do not appear to have ever been used. This is a nice pair of vintage Hinger mallets in new condition. These are easy to play and produce a nice sound on the instrument. Four pairs available.
