Nice, bright, clear tones. This is a 1930s era instrument with rosewood bars made by Deagan.

| The xylophone has a wooden frame on a Kohler-Liebach stand. Easy to set up and without rattles. In place, it's quite sturdy however, if the instrument is moved while set up, frame supports tend to collapse.

| Bars and frame have a beautiful patina. Stand and resonators are...well...old.

| Great for the student or pro who doesn't have the room or need for more than 3 octaves. I used this for orchestral training.
