Small piano of one meter high with 26 notes. It has no keyboard, but works like an automatic piano with a pinwheel. This model was carried by two large leather straps in the back and then put down to be played like a barrel organ. The crank on the front is used to drive the roller and the small hammers, and the levers on the sides are used to select the 6 music pieces.
