I recently purchased a loud roller piano at auction. It is made in
Barcelona, Spain, and is about 2' tall by 2 1/2 ' wide and 1' deep,
bright red with bright yellow trim. Can anyone please give me
information as to the history and value of this machine?
I say it is loud, which I presume means that it needs tuning, which
I am unable to do presently, but might be able to learn. So, anyway,
this is all new to me, and is my first "piano"! It plays 6 tunes:
Dr. Zhivago, Espana Cani, O Solo Mio, Trink Bruderlein, La Vie En Rose
and Ramona.
According to the condition of the machine and the tunes it plays it is
certainly a modern reproduction. However, I found an ad in the British
Music Box Journal, 1984 edition, with one for sale. Thanks to anyone
with information.
