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.[1] They sound one octave down from the glockenspiel, or one octave above concert pitch. Song bells have been made by various makers at different times but were first introduced by the J.C. Deagan Company in 1918 and manufactured until 1924.[2]
