FS: 1927 Knabe 5'8" Louis XV Ampico A in Penna
By David Winkelblech

I am partially liquidating my 35 years of collecting.  I'm reluctantly
putting up for sale a beautiful 1927 Knabe 5' 8" Louis XV Ampico A in
an exquisite burl walnut case.

This instrument was restored by Craig Brougher in 2005.  You can see
the piano on his web site under the examples of his work.  It is a
magnificent looking and sounding instrument.

Along with the Knabe I am liquidating a collection in the neighborhood
of 1,200 Ampico rolls (I've actually never counted them).  About 50%
are recut rolls and the balance are original.  This collection includes
some very choice rolls, both A and B, that I have purchased over the
past ten years.

I also have a Steinway Duo-Art XR in an ebony case, an earlier
restoration in need of some repairs.  An outstanding Duo-Art
installation.

Any seriously interested parties are welcome to contact me to see
the instruments or for additional information.
