Nerd | The Hummel / Hommel (12) | RE: The Hummel / Hommel | 20 Jan 09 |
Re: the international distribution of the hummel, if you read the article linked to in the OP, it states that the builder of the "Last German Hummel" learned the instrument when in France during the Franco-Prussian war. It says he learned it from a "weaver's family," so presumably not from another German soldier. So it seems the last German hummel was a copy of a French hummel (or epinette). |
