Banjo-Orchestra by D. C. Ramey Piano Company
By Ed Gaida

One of the biggest hits of this year's MBSI convention in Philadelphia
was the Dave Ramey Banjo-Orchestra.  Built from the ground up with
unbelievable attention to quality and detail, the machine combines the
unique qualities of the Encore Automatic Banjo and an orchestrion.

The Ramey Piano Company offers two tape recorded volumes of the
machine.  If you like rags, one-steps and other music from all periods,
the tapes are a must.  Priced at $10.00 each plus shipping, they can be
ordered from:

  D. C. Ramey Piano Company
  2878 Glenwood Dyer Road
  Lynwood, IL  60411-9781
  708 418-2045

Neither Dave or his son Dave, Jr. are on the net, so you will have to
write or call.  For tune lists of the two volumes, go to:

When I have time, there will be an audio clip to delight the ears.
