FS: Pinned Cylinders for Barrel Piano
By Jack Mindy

A few months ago, I bought a pair of objects simply because I didn't
know what they are -- I love a challenge!  Having since learned as
much as I care to know about them, it is time to move on and find
someone else who either knows or doesn't know what they are.

What they are is gigantic (my opinion) barrels/cylinders/rolls that
belong in a barrel piano, of which I own not even one.  Thus, I am in
a position where I really should sell either or both of these barrels,
which measure 44 inches long by 14-1/2 inches diameter.  Either that
or buy a barrel piano that would just happen to play this 44 by 14-1/2
inch size.

I suppose I could put them up on eBay, but I want to start here on MMD
where I have a better chance of finding them a so-called "good home".
As I might have expected, the cylinders have only some sparse pencil
markings and nothing so handy as song titles, author, ASCAP/BMI
licensing, etc.  My guess is these songs are likely not available on
Spotify, although I make no guarantees in that regard.  But they do
seem to be in fairly good shape.

The price is negotiable and I will be agreeable to haul them a fair
distance from my Northeast location, preferably before the first snow
flies.  This offer is also contingent on the price of a gallon of gas
remaining below the cost of your neighbor's homemade COVID masks ($5
USD in most USD areas).

These barrel piano accessories are in limited quantities (2) and will
be sold to the first person who volunteers to rid me of these amazingly
effective doorstops.  To email me, don't forget to drop the troep thing
in the address.  Sorry, I don't "message" even though I really do know
what a "message" is.  Not like I'm retired or anything.
