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.
Early 20th century pair of Deagan bell/xylophone mallets. As shown in a 1916 catalog, these model 2017 mallets have maple heads with leather pad strikers. The heads can be reversed and played on the maple side if desired. The rattan hamdles straight and in good condition. There are no splits or cracks in the maple heads. This is a very rare and unusual pair of early keyboard mallets that can also be used for temple or wood blocks. This will make a great addition to any vintage collection.
