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 an early, rare pair of Hinger wooden timpani sticks. The shafts and heads of these sticks are either hard maple or hickory. The wooden heads are 1 1/4" in diamter and covered with a thin layer of red felt. Each shaft is straight and in excellent condition with a clear Hinger stamp burned into each shaft. The felt is in excellent condition with only a small exposed seam on one stick. These are nicely balanced sticks which are quite different from other Hinger sticks. They will make a nice addition to a stick collection or players stick bag.
