I'm looking to acquire instruments for The Deagan Novelty Orchestra,
based in New York.  The group performs only on original Deagan
instruments.  Performances are based on the Circuit Chautauqua
shows from the turn of the century.

We've borrowed some instruments in the past, and own several
others.  We'd like to add new numbers to the show, and are in need
of an aluminum harp, musical coins, organ chimes, musical ratchets,
tuned cowbells, Unafon, etc.

The show is meant to bring attention to the musical contributions
of John Calhoun Deagan.  A brief bio of Deagan is available at
http://www.pas.org/About/HOF/JCDeagan.cfm

If you have a Deagan novelty instrument available, and want to see
it used instead of sitting in a collection or museum somewhere,
please contact me.
