Street Piano by Pesaresi & Son of Clerkenwell
By Rob Barker

Hello everyone,  I am currently working on a Pesaresi 48-note
street barrel piano made in Clerkenwell in London around the turn
of the century.  I have worked on other barrel pianos but I'm not
familiar with this maker.  I would welcome any information about it:
the family, whether there are any other surviving instruments, etc.
I am especially interested in looking at a crank handle to copy,
as it is missing.

Cheers,
Rob Barker - in balmy South Lincolnshire.
