Gavioli "Guitharmonie" Barrel Reed Organ
By William Endlein

Recently I have uncovered a Gavioli "Guitharmonie" Barrel Reed Organ
(I believe).  It has 30 keys and 7 tunes.  Where may I get a photograph
of one or I can provide photos of this one.  The only markings I found
are inside under the barrel.

  Ginocchio & bro musical instrument maker and repairer
  41 Hestor St. New York

Did he build this or at one time repaired this instrument?  This barrel
operated reed organ is unrestored at present time.  Can any one provide
age and true maker?
