George Hicks, London Barrel Piano Maker
By Nick Hawkins

Does anyone have dates and addresses for George Hicks' operations in
London?  I am researching a barrel piano with Black Forest automata by
this maker.

Please reply to: n_hawkins63@hotmail.com.geentroep (deleting geentroep)

  [Out of curiosity, since I did not find George Hicks listed in the
  [Bowers Encyclopedia, I did a Google search of "George Hicks" + Lon-
  [don OR piano OR organ and came up with a Metropolitan Museum of Art
  [webpage that showed a barrel piano on display there, with the infor-
  [mation that it was made by one George Hicks, American, 1818-1863.
  [Could this be your man?
