Unknown Tunes on Peerless Forte Piccolo Cylinders
By Bill Wineburgh

I have two Mermod Freres Peerless Forte Piccolo cylinders, numbered
1265 and 1266.  The Heeren Bros. Jewelers catalog lists many of the
different models of Mermod cylinders and the tunes that are pinned on
them.  However, these cylinder numbers are not listed in the catalog;
the highest number listed for this model cylinder music box is 1264.

I made recordings of the two cylinders and posted them on YouTube,
so all you music lovers and musicologists, please take a listen and let
me know if you can identify any of the tunes.  Posting the results will
add to the reference material available to collectors!
