I was at God’s Mountain Estate for my regular spring tuning and Sarah had a new instrument that she had recently added to her extensive antique collection, a Faventia hand crank street piano from Barcelona. I repaired some of the hammers and tuned it according to the instructions on the inside of the lid. It was the strangest piano I have tuned to date and most likely the only one that has been played by a monkey.
Here is a video of the Faventia before tuning…
and this is after tuning…
This is the barrel piano in it’s little cart.
