Hello, I am attempting to get scale information for a barrel piano
by E. Bona & A. Antoniazzi. The piano has 44 notes, starting in the
bass with
E, F, F#, G, G#, A, B, C, C#, [wound strings for bass]
A, B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#,
A, B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#,
A, B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#,
A, B.
The piano has only a wooden frame so I am assuming lower pitches than
the corresponding notes from a piano scale.
These notes are stamped into the pinblock area of the piano. It
has been repaired once before. The bass strings were not made or
installed correctly with windings of copper crossing the bridge and
upping bearing area, causing poor tone and buzzing. I have enclosed
two photos of the piano.
