    Description

    Up for sale is a 2-octave set of Deagan xylophone bars in 1 slat which appears to come from a nickelodeon-organ-type instrument, although I can't seem to find much information on the Deagan product specifically. The lowest bar is an A#4 and the highest bar is an A6. The bars are 1.25" wide and 5/8" in thickness. The lowest bar is 9.75" long and the highest bar is 4 and 5/8" long. The bars are tuned to A435 ("low pitch") and were checked with a tuner at A435 and were all in tune (although would need to be worked on to bring up to A440 if that was desired).
    This could be used in organ repair/work/construction, played as-is as a percussion instrument (although with the bars laid out chromatically in a row, might be difficult), or the bars could be removed to be used in a fresh percussion instrument. The last patent date on the front is marked 1919.
