I thought the MMD readers would find this interesting.  I came across
this web site about the Ampico.  The demonstration tracks sound very
good.  Has anyone heard the CD yet or know about this group?

 [   The major interest of the work of Pascal Marcelin is to get
 [ closest to what listeners of the era could have heard then, from
 [ the punched rolls recorded in the first third of the 20th century.
 [ His mastery of data processing techniques has permitted him to
 [ reconstitute, using the computer, the sound of the piano and to
 [ resuscitate the playing of virtuosos of this grand period, with the
 [ quality of a modern instrument and recording.  The result is indeed
 [ surprising.
