Hello, We just launched another edition of The Pianola News, Vol. II,
No. 8, and it might be of interest to you. This time we examine the
"mystique" of the Player-Piano, and the 'authenticity' of the
supposedly 'recorded' rolls. One of the sections is devoted to sales
techniques for the Ampico expression player. Here's the URL -

PS: Just finished the 88-Note version of The Carioca, cut from
the audio of the 1933 movie. You can play the roll vs. the film yet
"see the action" in your mind's eye. The Duo-Art score is being done
now, prior to the scheduled release. This is about 75 feet long, an
extravaganza! The Carioca is one of several new 88/Duo-Art 'tandem'
releases which will be out in a month or two.
Ampico Rolls will be 'out' as soon as our Brewster upright has been
completed, sometime during the Summer months.
