"The Nutcracker" Played on Ampico & Duo-Art
By Rich Ingrahm

After listening to (and watching) a portion of the YouTube videos,
I will offer my opinion.  Although I am not an accomplished musician,
I do enjoy listening to piano music.  I have to say I enjoyed the
selection played on the Ampico much more.  I think if one was to
compare apples to apples, it might have been hard to choose between
the two.  If the same piece of music was played on both pianos, with
the same recording equipment, in the same acoustical setting, then it
would be a closer comparison.

I did not enjoy the arrangement of the piece played on the Duo-Art,
as it seemed like many of the notes were crammed together.  I am sure
it is just the particular arrangement that I do not care for, rather
than the capability of the instrument.  Again, if the same piece was
played on the two instruments, I would have a better appreciation for
each reproducing system and it's capabilities.  Just my $.02.
