Carl Fischer, Inc., the New York wholesale
musical merchandise house, has become the
agent for the famous Heckel line of wood
winds, it was announced upon the return of
Walter S. Fischer, head of the concern, from
Europe. Mr. Fischer expressed himself as very
pleased with the Heckel connection and pre-
dicted a big volume of business in this partic-
ular line.
"There are few factories in the world which
are making wood-wind instruments and most
of these are only able to manufacture the more
simple clarinets whose bore is cylindrical and
whose acoustical and technical calculations are
easy to make," declared Mr. Fischer. "But to
build and construct wood-wind instruments
with conical bore unusual experience is neces-
sary. Many and great calculations must be
made for the number of problems to be met
is amazing.
"It is an art that few have attempted. The
German industry is chiefly represented in this
line by the world's most renowned instrument
maker, Wilhelm Heckel, with factory near
Wiesbaden. His specialty is the making of
bassoons, contra-bassoons, hcckelphones, cors-
anglais and oboes."
