Inc.Publisher:Carl FischerCountry:USAArea:New YorkDate:1935Language:EnglishCD edition:No. of scans:244Resolution:180 dpiEbook size:175.1 MBOrder code:Fischer1935Physical description of the originalThe size is 31 cm height and 23.2 cm width. Dimensions are for the cover. The pages are c. 30.3x22.5 cm.Most of the 237 numbered pages are printed black-and-white on glossy paper. Some pages are printed in colour on various paper qualities and seem to be manufacturer brochures bound as parts of the catalog. A result of this collation style is that the pagination gets slightly messed up towards the end and the page numbers actually end up at 239. An extra smaller format page has been pasted into the catalog between pages 126 and 127.The catalog is hardbound.My copy of the catalog includes two copies of Carl Fischer's November 1935 newsletter.DatingThe catalog is undated but the 1935 newsletter announces it as new.ContentBrands represented include:Flutes and piccolosPan AmericanHaynesCarl FischerKohlertOboes, english horns and bassoonsPan AmericanBuffetHeckelKohlertClarinetsPan AmericanCavalierCarl FischerBuffetKohlertMartin FrèresPruefer (not in the catalog itself but in the enclosed newsletter)SaxophonesPan AmericanCavalierBuffetBrass instrumentsCarl FischerBessonPan AmericanCavalierRexcraft (bugles)HarmonicasHohnerFr.
