Missing Instrument in A. Martin Barrel Piano
By Mark Stucky

I am restoring a miniature barrel piano and one of the instruments
is missing.  I'm trying to determine what's supposed to be there.
In the accompanying picture there's a round mallet between the low A
and B strings but nothing for it to strike.

This barrel piano looks almost identical to the Faventia Barcelona
pianos that seem to be more common.  This miniature barrel piano has
30 notes, two wood blocks and two bells, plus the missing instrument.

Is there anyone who has seen one of these and can tell me what the
missing instrument is?  Thanks.

Mark Stucky
