Spanish street piano

[Berley Antoine Firmin II]

Tom,
Barrel pianos almost never have a cast iron plate, just wooden. They are made that way for easier street transportation. The pin blocks are poorly made and almost always are split. Sometimes regular tuning pins are used.

For a lot of information on Barrel pianos, tuning and their repair, see the book by Arthur Ord-Hume, Barrel Organ. It is available sometimes on line.
