Deagan to Percy Grainger, Chicago, 19 October 1916 Description An account of the resource Grainger enjoyed ‘liberty of the factory’ of J.C. Deagan, as he worked closely with the instrument maker to develop instruments specific to the new orchestral timbres he was seeking to create. In this letter, Deagan writes to Grainger regarding the latter’s search for ‘low tones’ to enrich the tuned percussion ensemble. Grainger’s requests for lower sounding marimbas never really materialized but his desire to include these bass extensions foretells the age of the five octave marimbas that are popular today.
