Ampico B Plays Too Softly
By Don Teach
To the technician working on a Marshall and Wendell Ampico, these
instruments actually came several versions. Most did not have what we
refer to as full B hence the span of the pneumatic is not adjustable.
Most had the expression system away from the stack, not part of the
stack. I say most as I have only heard of one Marshall with the note
compensation pneumatics.
The B usually does not play louder than an A on loud passages in the
music but it also does not play the softest passages softer.
