Seek A-435 Glockenspiel Bars For Wurlitzer 146
By Bill Masterman

Does anyone have a set of glockenspiel bars tuned to A-435, preferably
the Deagan brand, for sale?

I have a Wurlitzer 146 band organ that currently has Deagan glockenspiel
bars, but at A-440 tuning pitch.  This has created the need for the
pipework in the organ to be tuned to the A-440 pitch rather than the
A-435 pitch for which it was intended.  Consequently, the reeds seem
to throw more fits when raising their pitch to this level occurs.

I just thought a proper set of bell bars would be a more logical
solution than revoicing of the trumpets to make them operate better
with the pitch raise.

Thanks,
