For sale is a vintage J.C. Deagan Imperial Marimba Model 66 in very good functional condition, with a clear, sweet, punchy sound. It was built between 1937-42. There is cosmetic wear along the side panels and some of the natural wood bars show minor wear to the finish, but this does not affect the sound or tuning of this beautiful instrument.
“The frames on which the bars are mounted are of the very finest native quarter sawed white oak, and the bars are suspended above the frames between posts so that the bars do no come in contact with anything but the supporting cord, thus leaving them free to vibrate.
