A friend of mine who I met online, who lives is Spain was talking to me on messenger and the topic got onto music.
He went ahead and sent this message.

Give it a whack, I know you'll enjoy, finding the name of our personal woodcarver's toy... though you need to know who he is, first. ;) P.S - I'm no good at rhymes, sue me.
He had me do this in two stages, once I had solved that one, he sent me another message.
This one's pretty simple and I won't waste your time with too much of a problem in terms of a cipher... all you need to know is, what seat did our bloody old woodcarver's relative sit on, though more importantly, which number was he to sit on it? There you go, you have your answer! Go forth and solve the Cipher!

My question to you Puzzle Fanatics is, Can you find out the name of our woodcarver's toy?
Creators note: My first puzzle, if you choose to downvote, please tell me what was wrong and how to improve for the future. Thankyou
Edit: I'd like to offer a formal apology, however I had forgotten to include the 'Music' tag.
I have a question (Leave a comment) Should I just remove the cipher now? It supposedly adds nothing to the puzzle aside from extra work, though honestly I don't know whether to change it or not.
Clues! (God, I thought this was easier to solve than it is.)
A puzzle? About Music? With references to Pinocchio? Classical.
