Another great Ampico Fox Trot, played by "The Sherry Bros", which was the nome de plume for Frank Milne.

  • It could very well be.....Ampico was known for 'adding' notes to a roll, so it would have a fuller sound and a better sounding arrangement.  Lots of the rolls could not be played by just 1 person. :) Many times, they would add the word "asst" meaning another person assisted in playing the piece.

  • Thanks DuoArtDanOz and sammipink!

  • Beautifully arranged by Frank Milne, and dynamically performed on your Mason and Hamlin piano. Bravo!

  • What a magnificent Mason & Hamlin. They certainly made a tremendous piano. One of the best. Bravo!

  • just great! This piano is superb , I think i' II sell my car and buy one, it gives me such a lift! Where can these be found?

  • @aardvaark069- I totally agree. (that Ampico is a superior system) For one thing it is far less tempo sensitive than Duo Art because of it's lock and cancel dynamics as opposed to the accordian pneumatic of the duo-art which is very tempo sensitive. However I think Duo Art is more responsive with accents because of the snake bites. Also I agree Ampico had better "pops" rolls. But Duo-Art did have Pauline Alpert!

  • I think, in the end, that the Ampico people had so much more fun with their systems possibilities than did the Duo-Art people. The Ampico seems far superior to me than the Duo-Art. I'm puttin' my Steinway Duo-Art up for sale and lookin' to get an Ampico system piano.

  • this is a duet playing right? I cant imagine one person doing this.

  • sweet, I love it. . You know, sharing this (with the world) is
