Gasparini Handle Reproductions
By Philip Jamison

I'm considering getting some handles cast for a barrel piano under
repair.  These are a sturdy, 4-screw solid handle, the screw holes
being approximately 4 3/8" apart.  I'm going to copy, I think, a fairly
ornate handle from a Gasparini barrel organ.  Anyway, if anyone else
has a need, I could get additional copies made.

The foundry estimates $8-$12 each for silicone bronze (a good price,
I think).  The originals were usually iron, but these could be painted
or polished.  I can post a photo if desired.  E-mail me if you're
interested.
