Street Barrel Piano & Handcart
By Dale Gunnar

[ Ref. 070501 & 070502 MMDigest

My small old Spanish "Pianito" barrel piano was easy to put in
playing condition (maybe not perfect), so I'd rather burn the cart.
Remove the front of the piano to show off the workings and children
will be fascinated, watching and listening.

I just spent my whole day demonstrating a barrel piano, organette,
a disc music box, a book playing organ and a "Tanzbar" to groups of
school children, explaining how each works.  They were fascinated,
and I enjoyed it no end.
