Seek Barrel Piano Restorer
By Tish Ganey

I'm trying to identify calliope my parents purchased in Malta in 1956.
It is from Tunis.  Not sure if it really is a calliope (?).

It looks like an upright piano; it has a large crank on the left, plus
a smaller crank and another knob that appears to change its "tunes."
It has strings, wood blocks, cymbals, two drum heads, etc.  I'm waiting
on more info from my parents regarding manufacturer, etc.

Would like to get restored somewhere in the southeast.  Any info or
recommendations would be helpful.  Thanks!
