1931 HAINES AMPICO B
ARTCASE GRAND PIANO

Year built: 1931
Serial number: 94501
Player system: Ampico B
Length: approx. 1.60 m

The Ampico B is the last and best stage of development of reproducing instruments before WWII. Numerous pianists recorded only for this system – above all Sergei Rachmaninoff. These instruments are extremely rare overall, and in Europe in particular. On our YouTube channel we have sound samples of this grand piano. This Haines Brothers Ampico B Symphonique art-case grand with matching bench was restored at the end of the 1990s by the leading pianola expert in the USA. In 2015–2017 we carried out overhaul work on the grand piano. In 2021 the acoustics and action were restored again, as drying damage had occurred with the previous owners due to a lack of the necessary humidity. The Ampico music roll repertoire offers a huge selection of classical music and American dance music.
