Deagan Percussions Used
in Organ Manufacture
Practically Every Manufacturer of Any Note
To-day Using Deagan Products in His Com-
pleted Instruments
CHICAGO, III., May 24.—The demand for Deagan
percussions for pipe organ use is increasing
more and more, due to the growth in the num-
ber of larger organs for theatres and churches
which require more attachments and percus-
sions than were formerly used.
Deagan percussions are used by practically
every organ manufacturer in the country, as
well as by European builders, and it is a matter
of general knowledge that the Deagan Master
Tuners have been adopted by the Bureau of
Standards at Washington, where they are daily
in use. That the Bureau of Standards has
adopted the Master Tuners is a tribute to J. C.
Deagan, who is said to be the greatest living
authority on percussion tone.
Organists are becoming so well informed on
the tone quality of Deagan percussions which
have been manufactured by J. C. Deagan, Inc.,
for the greatest part of the last half century
that, to meet their wishes, practically every
organ manufacturer in the United States and
Canada is using Deagan percussions and the
modern organ is not considered complete unless
equipped with percussions such as the Deagan
harp celeste, Carillon harps and marimba harps,
as well as Deagan cathedral chimes, which are
suitable for use in church organs. On the other
hand theatre organs also use, in addition to
percussions, xylophones, orchestral bells, etc.
At the Convention!

Some of the organists of the old school were
at first opposed to adopting these new stops,
even though they produced tone coloring un-
obtainable in any other way, but to-day practi-
cally every organist in the country is in accord
with this modern trend in organ building and
endorse these stops just as heartily as do the
younger players.
The percussions supplied by J. C. Deagan,
Inc., are tuned to A 440 pitch. This pitch was
iirst advocated about a quarter of a century ago
by J. C. Deagan.
