A great dance roll from the 1930's played by The Sherry Brothers, aka Frank Milne, played from an original Ampico roll.

If you had a lot of money in the 1920-1930's, you could afford a grand piano with an Ampico or Duo-Art player in it like this one. As it was, only the very rich could afford an instrument such as this. In those days, a 7ft grand piano like this with a player system would cost somewhere in the $7,000+ range.

  • Thanks jev1937...You're welcome! It's fun to have and play this music from the past!

  • ¡Gracias! El mecanismo de Ampico en este piano fue reconstruido totalmente tan bien como el piano entero.

  • You're very welcome!

  • Thanks for your kind comments. This 1925 M&H RBB is a wonderful sounding piano, and is a great example of the quality M&H was able tp produce during that time period.

    Yes, the Ampico system is in very good shape after it's complete rebuild.

  • You're very welcome!

  • Thanks Tempo78, glad you enjoyed it!
