The Deagan Resource is a reference catalog of tuned percussion instruments made in the early 20th century by the J.C. Deagan Company, and has served as a historical web reference since 2006. The information presented here was collected from a variety of sources including the original Deagan catalogs.

Deagan mallet percussion instruments are some of the finest ever manufactured. As many of them were built nearly a century ago, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find them in original or mint condition, and their value continues to appreciate.



This site exists in large part due to the contributions made by the percussion community. A sincere 'thank you' is extended to all those who have contributed photographs and/or historical information to the Deagan Resource.
