Hello MMDers, May I introduce myself, My name is Peter Davis and
I have been restoring instruments, mainly reproducing pianos, for over
40 years. My main interest is to get the instruments playing as well,
if not better than when supplied new and also, dare I say it, the
recent interest in the fine musical qualities of the Disklavier.
I have recently acquired a coin freed barrel piano which I believe to
be made by the firm of Pasquale due to the spring being in the barrel.
My question is: does anyone have a list of the tunes on barrel no. 544?
This is the only writing on the barrel. The numbers on the piano
itself are: 1394 Rd 364814. Any information would be greatly
appreciated.

[ Peter, I shall be happy to place short audio files of the tunes
[ of your barrel piano at the MMD Sounds site where readers can
[ listen and possibly identify the tunes. Visit
