Hello MMD. I've just acquired a very nice small grand with an Apollo
reproducer-in-a-drawer a la Ampico, and I know from talking to the
former owner (a piano moving/storage company) that the tubing is shot,
and much is broken off. I realize that rolls for the Wurlitzer
reproducers are quite rare, and also realize that there is very little
information about them, even in the Reblitz book.
To start, can anyone tell me the tracker scale? I plan to play the
piano via MIDI, and hope to be able to play Ampico and/or Duo-Art rolls
via a conversion program. I really don't want to make any changes to
the piano or to the player (save adding a magnet box which is easily
removable) in the probably vain hope of finding some original rolls
for it. Thanks.
Regards,
Bob Loesch
