Ampico Rolls
By Damon Atchison

I was wondering if any Ampico owners or restorers could tell me if there
were ever any lyrics printed on the Ampico expression rolls?  I don't see
what point there would be to it seeing how the roll would be hidden
during play anyway.

Second, I wondered if any other jazz or popular music artists of the
twenties recorded Ampico rolls?   Most of the Ampico rolls that I have
seen have been classical compositions.

Last, were any expression pianos manufactured for coin pianos (excluding
the massive band organs by Hupfeld)?

Curious,

Damon Atchison
