These bells are in beautiful condition, with the original strikers and portable sheet music stand. Wood case is in good shape, veneer chipped on one side, leather handle missing, lock (no key) and latches in excellent working condition. Patent plate inside case: April 29, 1919. Deagan Catalog “D” (ca. 1914) boasted that Roundtop Orchestra Bells “have the best tone of any Bell in the world, and are very much easier to play than Flat Top Bells, owing to the fact that the top being slightly convexed, the full tone of the Bell is produced whether the Bell is struck at an angle or struck squarely. Owing to the shape of the Roundtop Orchestra Bell, all counter-harmonies or overtones are entirely eliminated, and when the Bell is struck nothing but the pure fundamental tone is heard.” These bells have an incredible bright musical tone!
