Heildburg & Sons 61-Note Player Piano in Lisbon
By Miguel de Mattos

Hi, I wonder if any of you could help me identifying this player
piano I saw here in Lisbon.  It's a German player, K. Heildburg & Sons.

It is electric motor and hand crank powered.  The spool box is under
the key bed, in the lower panel.  It has 61 notes.  (Is this is
possible, or did I count them wrong?)  There are three extra holes
on the left and one on the right of the wood tracker bar.  There are
no levers or buttons.

I never saw one of these.  Are there rolls available for this player?
Any comments are more then welcome.
