New book – Innovative woodwind instruments by the Heckel family/Innovative Holzblasinstrumente der Heckelfamilie – JOPPIG, Gunther
If you ever wanted to know more about the HECKEL family of instrument makers, then this is the perfect book for you. Not only that, but it’s bilingual – English and German. [Bravo to the translator!]
Published in 2014, this book is packed full with over 300 illustrations. Gunther JOPPIG was in contact with the company owners for over 50 years. During this time, he compiled his special collection of Heckel instruments. A total of 77 of these exhibits are shown and described in this book. Ever heard of the Heckelphone-clarinet? Perhaps the Heckel musette? It’s all inside these 195 pages. But we’ll let the book speak for itself:
show more ‘Wilhelm Heckel GmbH is a family business, which was founded in 1831 in the town of Biebrich on the Rhine by Johann Adam Heckel from Adorf, and still exists today. From the very beginning, the business focused on the making of bassoons incorporating the modifications by Carl Almenräder. This catalogue, which accompanies a special exhibition organised by the Musikinstrumenten-Museum Markneukirchen, provides insights into the development of woodwind instruments in the 19th and 20th centuries, as illustrated by this dynasty of instrument makers, who made a significant contribution to the development of bassoons and contrabassoons and invented the heckelphone.’ ‘Das bis heute bestehende Familienunternehmen Wilhelm Heckel GmbH wurde 1831 von Johann Adam Heckel aus Adorf im Vogtland in Biebrich am Rhein gegründet. Von Anfang an bildete die Herstellung von Fagotten mit den Modifikationen von Carl Almenräder einen Schwerpunkt. Dieser Katalog der Sonderausstellung des Musikinstrumenten-Museums Markneukirchen erlaubt einen Einblick in die Entwicklung der Holzblasinstrumente im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert am Beispiel einer Instrumentenbauerdynastie mit ihren maßgeblichen Weiterentwicklungen des Fagotts und Kontra- fagotts, sowie der Erfindung des Heckelphons.’ show less
