Description

Deagan Reveille Bells
3-octave set (A3-A6)
COMPLETE SET, PERFECT FUNCTIONAL CONDITION (please note that
F#6 and A6 (in the upper octave) have been replaced with bells from another Reveille Bell set, as those two original bells from this set were defective. The replacement bells have been polished and thus look slightly different, though they sound the same as the rest of the set (timbrally), and have the same tuning.
Reveille Bells are a rare forked tubular bell instrument that J.C. Deagan built in the 1920s. They were one of Deagan's most expensive instruments, so expensive that they were never marketed to individual percussionists but rather were sold to churches and theaters for their organs.
Longest bell (A3) is about 23" long and 3.125" wide.
