The Deagan Resource serves as an historical reference of many of the mallet percussion instruments that were made by J.C. Deagan in the early part of the 20th century. 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.
