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.
The classic Ludwig & Ludwig model No. 973 song whistle. As shown in the attached 1932 catalog, the model 973 whistle was featured in all of the early Ludwig catalogs. Our Ludwig is in near mint condition. It has a clear Ludwig & Ludwig stamp at the end of the whistle. The slide works smoothly and the whistle produces a warm tone throughout its range. It is a full 12 1/2" in length and has a comfortable loop on the end of the slide. This was a favored song whistle in the early 20th century and belongs in any fine sound effect collection.
