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 rare pair of Leedy soft rubber mallets from the early 1930's. As shown in the attached 1934 Leedy catalog, model 1704 mallets have 1 1/16" soft rubber disc heads mounted on thin round reed flexible shafts. This pair is in very good overall condition. The red rubber heads are still suppled though a little dirty. The skinned, round reed shafts are in good shape but also a little dirty. This is a noce pair of vintage Leedy mallets that will make a nice addition to any mallet collection.
