About: Song bells
Song bells are a musical instrument in the keyboard percussion family. They are a mallet percussion instrument that is essentially a cross between the vibraphone, glockenspiel, and celesta. They have bars made of aluminum. They sound one octave down from the glockenspiel, or one octave above concert pitch, and generally have a range of 2+1⁄2 octaves. Song bells have been made by various makers at different times but were first introduced by J.C. Deagan, Inc. in 1918 and manufactured by the company until 1924.
