Street Barrel Piano & Handcart in UK
By Paul Camps

HI all,  My advice to Brian Chesters is to burn the barrel piano and
keep the handcart: it will be useful to anyone starting their own
window cleaning business.

Barrel pianos are a pain in the bum to restore, requiring many hours of
painstaking effort, and give very little musical or financial reward.
The cost of a gallon of petrol is the best investment in this case.

Sorry Brian -- been there, done that, bought the "T" shirt, many times.
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
