Seek Tuning Scale of 22-note Barrel Piano
By Nancy Fratti

Hi!  I just got in stock a small barrel piano; not a small street-type
piano, but a vertical standing one.  The footprint is about 16" wide
by 14" deep by about 36" high.  It sits on an end table very nicely!
It has 22 notes, with three strings for each note.

Does anyone have a tuning scale for these instruments?  Were most of
them tuned the same?

I'd like to tune it before offering it for sale.  I can understand the
tunes, albeit they're a bit 'sour'.  There are two bells in this piece
too.  It's a fun, happy sound and I want to make it better!

Thanks for any input!
