The Ampico B Skala

1913 gab es den Vorläufer (Stoddard-Ampico), ab 1920 dann das ausgereifte Ampico A und ab 1929 die Weiterentwicklung -das Ampico B. Als die letzte Entwicklungsstufe aller Reproduktionsinstrumente kann das Ampico B angesehen werden. In dem Buch “Re-Enacting the Artist” schreibt Larry Givens über das Ampico B System: “With its fewer moving parts, its electric roll drive mechanism, its quieter pump and exhaust, its rapid-acting valves, and many other improvements and innovations the Model B Ampico cannot be considered anything less than the zenith of player piano development.

Die Skala des Ampico B Systems hat 100 Löcher im Notengleitblock zzgl der zwei Hebel für die Spurkontrolle. Im Ampico Inspectors Book 1929 ist die Belegung der 100 Löcher so angegeben.

Auch wenn Ampico A in 1929 durch das noch verbesserte Ampico B abgelöst wurde, wurden v.a. Ampico A verkauft – und sind bis heute sehr gefragt. Sicher eines der schönsten Reproduktionssysteme!
