FS: Chickering Ampico Grand in Queens, New York
By Amy Newman

I am trying to find a home for a very beautiful but neglected
Chickering baby grand art case (walnut) piano.  The player mechanism
is an Ampico model "A" made between 1920 and 1928.  My family purchased
the piano secondhand in the middle 1950s and it has not been moved
since then.  My father was able to maintain the Ampico during his
lifetime, but it has not functioned since the late 1960s.  The piano
has not been tuned in over 20 years.

I need to empty my mother's house in Queens, New York by the end of
November.  I have a photograph of the piano in its original setting.
