Hand-cranked Coin Piano Plays Keith Prowse Music
By Randi Boles 

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

I recently purchased a player piano but I'm not sure of the maker.
The serial number is Rd 364814.  The piano takes a penny to play,
and has a large hand crank on the right side.  The music sheet
header says Keith Prowse & Co, London.

Did Keith Prowse make a piano?  Or just the music?  Thank you in
advance for any assistance you can offer.
