FS: 5'-4" Ampico Grand Reproducing Piano
By Jay Albert

Acquisition of a new piano and lack of room forces us to sell
our magnificent 1927 Fischer Ampico player grand piano. It is
5'-4" and one of the most outstanding performers you will hear
in any collection.

The late 'A' Ampico system includes the pedal compensators and
lost-motion pneumatics, and the spool box will accommodate nearly
all but a few of the late Jumbo recordings: recreating the softest
feather-touch pianissimos to the loudest and most brilliant
triple-fortes on all A and B recordings.

The Ampico and piano were completely re-built and restored to
perfection by Bannister Piano, and it is lovingly serviced and
tuned regularly.  Beautifully refinished mahogany case.  Bench,
30 Ampico recordings, and original framed bill-of-sale included.
Piano is located in Santa Barbara, Calif.  Asking $15,500.00
