According to the Madrid newspaper, the builder advertised himself between 1901 and 1911, where he made his last commercial appearance. There are also a few museum pieces. I have not identified the list of songs on the current wheel. I will update the listing once I have more information. I believe one of the songs is an old Spanish play La Verbena de la Paloma (The Fair of the Dove). The play premiered in Madrid in 1894. Below is the clip of a 1963 Spanish full length movie based on the the play, it features the piano in the few few seconds. La Verbena de la Paloma (1963) Trailer – YouTube.
