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 nice set of Deagan 1123 Orchestra bells with two cases. Owned by a former percussionist with The Phoenix Symphony and used with that orchestra over many years. The bars are in excellent condition with no plating loss. This set includes the high “C#”, a bar often missing or not included in these sets. The all original bars have never been re-tuned. This set includes a nice modern custom case built for this set of bars. The lid is removable as is the board the bars sit on making it easier to use in a small set-up. The bars are arranged with the accidentals suspended over the naturals throughout the range making them easier to play. The original oak folding case also comes with this set giving the owner a compact, easily transported option. The case had been re-finished years ago and is still very solid and functional. This is a great set of professional quality bells that can be used in any setting for many years to come.
