Interesting conversation piece!

This is an old roller from a barrel piano. It has notes for several songs which were obviously painstakingly placed in just the precise location. There would have been a lever to change the tune. Made of wood with metal points, and a fantastic gear that would have turned the roll. This is very big. 46 inches long and 14 inches in diameter. I think it would be very interesting as an architectural display! SOLD!
