Hello everyone, I am currently working on a Pesaresi 48-note
street barrel piano made in Clerkenwell in London around the turn
of the century. I have worked on other barrel pianos but I'm not
familiar with this maker. I would welcome any information about it:
the family, whether there are any other surviving instruments, etc.
I am especially interested in looking at a crank handle to copy,
as it is missing.
Cheers,
Rob Barker - in balmy South Lincolnshire.
