Title
Xylophone, early 1940s
Description
This is a Deagan master ‘lite wate’ xylophone, adapted from earlier models and produced during World War II. It is made from Honduras rosewood, timber, and cardboard. Designed around portability, this small 3 octave xylophone is a one-piece unit with a folding frame and carry handle. A feature of this instrument is the all timber frame, and resonators made from cardboard tubes, clearly a time when metal was in short supply.
