Seek Photos of Marshall & Wendell Ampico Upright
By John J. Breen
This past weekend, I bought a Marshall and Wendell Ampico upright
piano. After I got it home and started looking at it more carefully,
I found that it had been partially disassembled at some point in its
life. It is very possible that some of the parts are missing or have
been modified in a prior attempt to get the piano working again.
I am seeking photos (or better yet a local unit I can look at) of a
similar piano that will permit me to do a more thorough assessment of
what might be missing so I know what to start looking for. In addition,
a tubing diagram would be very helpful since all the rubber tubing has
been disconnected and the masking tape numbers that someone put on the
ends to say where they go are mostly in a pile in the bottom of the
piano.
