AmpicoGPM's video: AMPICO PEANUTS AND KISSES Lewis-Swanstrom 1933-Played by Robert Farquar Frank Milne

From the 1933 Broadway Musical "Hold Your Horses". As I recorded this original 1933 roll, a large hole showed up towards the end. It's a fun roll, so I posted it anyway, as I don't have another copy. THIS IS A 1927 MASON & HAMLIN RBB, A 7FT AMPICO GRAND PIANO THAT HAS BEEN REBUILT. IT HAS ITS ORIGINAL SOUNDBOARD, BRIDGES AND PLATE, HOWEVER, EVERYTHING ELSE HAS BEEN REBUILT WITH NEW COMPONENTS AS LISTED BELOW. THE ORIGINAL AMPICO MECHANISM WHICH THIS PIANO CAME WITH IN 1927, WAS REMOVED SOMETIME IN THE 1960'S. IT ALSO HAD ITS DOUBLE LEGS REMOVED. AND REPLACED WITH THE MODERN LEGS OF A BB. THE NEW AMPICO SYSTEM WAS PUT TOGETHER FROM DIFFERENT PARTS FROM ALL OVER THE US. THE STACK WAS BUILT FROM SCRATCH. THIS PIANO ALSO HAS THE MODERN SOLENOID PLAYER SYSTEM CALLED THE "LX", DESIGNED BY WAYNE STAHNKE. THIS WAS THE 1ST LX ON THE MARKET. IT IS TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THE ONLY GRAND PIANO IN THE WORLD THAT HAS BOTH AN AMPICO AND AN LX IN THE SAME PIANO. THANKS GO TO RANDY COX OF UNIVERSAL PLAYER PIANO CO. FOR THE DESIGN AND INSTALLATION OF BOTH SYSTEMS. LX PLAYBACK SYSTEM BY WAYNE STAHNKE www.live-performance.com EXCELLENT BASS STRINGS AND HAMMERS FROM ARI ISAAC.
