Nice barrel piano!

fire eating? How did he get into that?

This is a wonderfully uplifting thread! Kudos to you all for "turning on" the world to our hobby.

I've thought about moving the Cedenza X out onto either of my porches, but it's a real pain moving it.

Maybe I'll set the Triumph, Amberola V or 2/4 Home B outside. This is, if it ever warms up and stops raining for more than a day...

Cheers,
Fran

haha moving the credenza does seem like quite an ordeal!

I wish I lived in one of the old timey neighborhoods where all the houses were on a long straight road. And where people made it a point to go meet their neighbors. Then it'd be real easy to take the phonograph outside and play tunes for the neighbors! If I went out side today and did that they'd probably have choice words for me and tell me to go away

Thanks ! I moved slightly sideways from Gramophones/phonographs after reaching 150 and bought two barrel pianos. I have restored them both and the cart which came with one of them and go collecting for cancer research (when allowed out !). My son joined a circus for a season to do the sound and lights and came back fire eating !!!

after reaching 150?


That sounds like a fun summer! Did he tell you first or did he surprise you by spewing fire?

He just casually mentioned it one day !!!
