Value of Barrel Piano by Nicolas Rossi
By Bob Ruiz

In early 1970 I found and bought a Nicolas Rossi "barrel piano".
I still have this piano and have very little information about it.

Unfortunately I had removed the inner works which transferred the
barrel's nails to clappers which struck the piano wires.  And so,
the piano does not play.  All other parts are there including the
big crank spring motor.

It is a beautiful work of art but I have idea of what its worth is.
Do you have any information that would help me?

Sincerely,
Bob Ruiz
