FS: Bona & Antoniazzi - Molinari Barrel Piano
By Damon Erickson

-- Non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMDigest --

I'm posting here on behalf of my father, Kirby Erickson, and my uncle,
Brent Erickson.  Their father (my grandfather), Ross Erickson, passed
away leaving them with the antiques that he had collected.  One of the
items we have yet to find a home for is a barrel piano on a cart with
wheels.  We hope that the MMDigest community might direct us to a buyer.

The soundboard label is Molinari & Sons but the barrel piano front
is labeled as Bona & Antoniazzi (before their third partner joined
to form B.A.B.):

  E. Bona & A. Antoniazzi
      Manufacturers of
  Cilinder Pianos & Organs
     336-338 Water St.
        New York

When I saw it last, the barrel was in good shape, with 10 songs.
The playlist is lost. The piano was professionally restored more than
20 years ago.  Although it still plays, it is no longer in excellent
condition.  Some cracking near the string pins.  Please see photos at

The piano is located in Rancho Mirage, California, 92270.  Buyer should
be prepared to arrange and pay for shipping.  We're willing to consider
any reasonable offer.  Email me for further details, additional info.
