Austrian instrument manufacturer Eduard Heidegger seems to have had the habit of publishing to separate catalogs, one for stringed instruments and one for wind and percussion instruments. This is the wind and percussion one.
Physical description of the original
The size is 24.2 cm height and 16.4 cm width.
The 72 numbered pages are printed black-and-white on rather cheap paper. Between pages 2 and 3 there is a plate made from higher grade glossy paper printed on both sides with photographs of Heidegger and from the factory.
The cover is made from brown, stiff paper and pritned with black and reddish brown on outside only.
The catalog is center-bound with three staples.
My copy includes a twelve page "Auszugspreisliste" for both this catalog and the stringed instruments catalog.
Content
The catalog is divided into five sections. Section A contains brass instruments, section B woodwinds, section C percussion, section D signalinstruments and section E misc. instruments and instrument parts.
Ebook condition
The original to the scans have been waterdamaged at some point, causing some buckling of the pages. It shouldn't be too important although it's definitely noticeable on the scans.
Format
The CD presents the catalog in a choice of three different formats: high resolution (180 dpi) JPEG scans for maximum quality, HTML format allowing you to leaf through the scans as if it was a paper book and PDF format for quick reference with all pages in a single document. It is readable on any reasonably modern computer with a CD drive.
