Deagan Glock Bars and Resonators

Among the first instruments J.C. Deagan produced were flat top glocks with squared edge bars. Deagan later manufactured a roundtop bar with a rounded edge and "Parsifal" glocks were marketed as superior models within the Deagan catalog. As Deagan perfected his instruments, a variety of resonators were being developed for glock racks and cases. Here are a few examples.
