This Knabe Ampico A grand piano was built in 1927 in Baltimore, USA. One of the last grand pianos built with the Ampico A system.
It was bought by the owner of a chocolate factory in England and shipped there straight from the factory. Because of this, it has an original 220 Volts electric motor. In the US 110 Volt motors were used.
The walnut artcase is exceptional. It has fancy legs and an ornate music desk.
The Ampico player system is being restored in our workshop.
The case will get a new finish too.
And remember:
" When Player Pianos were King
The AMPICO ruled Supreme "
