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.
Beautiful Ludwig branded tunable wooden cuckoo imitation. These are great imitations from the vaudeville era that don't often show up today with the Ludwig brand decal intact. This whislte is in excellent shape and all original except for a reproduction mouth piece. The tuning slide is in perfect working order and the whislte plays beautifully. The Ludwg decal is clearly on the top of the whistle. The hole in the top allows the player to play two pitches roughly a minor third apart. This is the perfect cuckoo imitation and a must for any traps collection or working percussionist.
