For Sale: I have a Jos. Fudvoye E. Mazzoletti barrel piano. It is in
very good shape to have been built in the early 1900's. The barrel turns and plays

have had the piece over 20 years but are downsizing homes and really will not have
enough room for it in the new house. I have not established a price, but will
consider any reasonable offer. I live in central Florida and since the piano is
very large, freight would be a consideration. I also have pictures if someone would
like to have them emailed. Contact kiethh@embarqmail.com -- (Posted 11 January 10)

It does need to be restored. Wood is solid and maybe original finish unknown. Some
ivory from 5 keys are off the tops, but have found two of them and keys work great

working properly are all black keys. All ivory keys play beautifully. I believe this
is dated between 1918-1926, but not certain of exact age. I believe most everything
is here, just needs some TLC and this will be such a wonderful piece of history. I can
see the tubes will need restored. I am selling as is. I can deliver depending on where
you are located. Also, if finally selling price is over $2000, I will pay to ship it
