J.C. Deagan
The historical American mallet percussion maker
Models: 3 · Categories: 2
J.C. Deagan built marimbas, vibraphones, orchestra bells, chimes, and tower bells in Chicago from the 1880s, and effectively invented the vibraphone as an instrument with a motor-driven tremolo. Deagan bars still turn up in orchestras and are still preferred by some players over anything made since.

Studio 49
The original Orff instrument maker
Categories: 2 · Models: 2
Studio 49 was founded in Munich in 1949 to build the instruments Carl Orff's Schulwerk required — xylophones, metallophones, and glockenspiels with removable bars — and its instruments defined how percussion is taught to children across much of the world.
