Henry W. Moennig

Henry W. Moennig was born in Leipzig, Prussia, in 1825. He was listed as a "Brass Manufacturer" on page 90 of the 1861 American Musical Directory (AMD). He was belatedly listed as a "Band Instrument Manufacturer" on page 109 in the 1885 publication. He died in New York City on March 4, 1894. He was probably related to the Moennig family of Brass Instrument Makers in Leipzig.

The French Horn that I recently acquired is similar, if not identical to the French Horns shown in the 1863 West Point Band. This picture, from the 1863 West Point Year Book, shows two horn players as follows: Front Row, left most musician; Front Row, fifth person from the left.
