Deagan Orchestra Bells

The reference glockenspiel bars

Deagan's orchestra bells are still preferred by many players over anything made since, and old sets are maintained and re-cased rather than replaced.

Category

  • Concert Percussion

    The percussion section's non-pitched instruments: concert snare and bass drums, tambourines, triangles, crotales, tubular bells, and the stands that hold them.

  • Mallet Percussion

    Marimbas, xylophones, vibraphones, glockenspiels, mallet instruments, makers, and model families.

Made by

  • J.C. Deagan

    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.
