I would appreciate it if anyone has information on a Spanish maker
(or dealer) by the name of V. Navas.  I have a barrel piano bearing
that name that I hope to restore someday, and would be glad of
anything that might help identify the model, date, etc., or would
be of use in its restoration.

The instrument appears to have been intended for indoor use;
it is hand-operated, with a (to my mind at least) rather unusual
pneumatic/mechanical action worked by a small force bellows.
Perhaps, when I have the time, I might send a photo of the instrument.

Yours sincerely,
