FS: Belgian Barrel Pianos
By Ed Gaida

These two beauties from the turn of the century were originally
clockwork operated.  One has been electrified with a coin mechanism
attached.

The condition could best be described as "rough".  One unit has had the
decorative mirrors replaced with clear plastic so the innards can be
seen.  The pinblock in this one appears to be split and the barrel has
a crack.  The second, and by far the one in the best condition, still
has its etched mirrors and clockwork motor.

The owner is asking $3,800 for both and will sell the two as a
pair -- no individual sales.  See them at:

They are listed near the bottom of the page.  Email me for more
information if you are interested.
