It is just the rosewood bars, no frame or storage box, and the bars are in a bit of disrepair. I work for the New England Conservatory of Music and a faculty member just approached me with a Deagan Junior Model #800 xylophone which belonged to one of his family members. If you are interested in having it restored, we would suggest contacting Century Mallet Instrument Service or Salazar Fine Tuning. This piece of wood slides through two leather loops that are attached to the case below the bars. It sounds like you are missing the flat piece of wood that holds the accidentals in the case when you close it, which could easily be replaced. Model # 1122 is a 2.0 octave instrument with 1' bars and we usually see them sell for around $700-$900 in unrestored condition.

The value of the instruments increase as the bars get thicker and the range increases.

Steve Weiss Music Response:ĭeagan made round top orchestra bells with 4 different sized bar thickness (7/8', 1', 1 1/4' and 1 1/2') and 3 ranges (2.0 octave, 2.5 octave or 3.0 octave). I'd be interested in approximate value, but also interested in how to get information on restoring it.

The bars are all in good condition and all of the pegs are still in place but when you close the case the bars fall out of place. I have a Deagan roundtop orchestra bells model 1122 (2 octave).
