have a deagan #584 vibra harp we bought from a starving musician for our son who was in the high school Jazz band. It was in the early 80’s and he graduated in 1983.
When they bought it, it was assembled and the musician played it for them. Upon agreement to purchase it, he disassembled it for them, packed it in his travel case and they brought it home, reassembled it and brought it in the house which is the only way I have ever seen it. Downsizing and need to unload instrument which has sat in the home covered all these years and occasionally played. If you buy, can you make us an offer to pack it, take it away and we’ll include everything that came w/it including the travel case,
and 9 mallets. We are 84, my husband has Alzheimer’s, and not tech savy at this point of our lives.
