Good morning, I am writing to you from a television production
company, Ricochet Ltd., where I am working on the show, "The Repair
Shop", for BBC. In this show we follow a team of Britain's most
passionate and skilled crafts people as they fix, repair and breathe
new life into objects brought in by members of the public. The
repaired objects will be returned to their owners to be treasured in
the family for generations to come.
We have recently had a wonderful Spanish organette repaired on the
show and I would be very grateful if you might be able to help me
identify the tune it plays [links to video clips are below]. The
organette was produced by Vicente Llinares and the expert dates the
model between 1940 to 1970. Many thanks in advance for your help.
Best wishes,
Lynne Pirrie - "The Repair Shop"
Ricochet Ltd., Brighton, UK
