The Ampico reels are also based on the 88 standard format and also have the perforations necessary for reproduction, so that 83 notes are played. The Ampico reels have a typical Ampico greenish decoration at the beginning of the reel on rather thin, brownish paper. In the middle of the paper is a large indication of the tempo (on most other reel types this is printed just before the perforations start), including the note "Ampico Recording - For use only on the Ampcio Reprodusing Piano", the reel number, title and artist. The boxes are usually black with the label on the front of the box. The sides of the rolls are made of bakelite in black like the 88 rolls. There is a round eyelet at the beginning of the roll to hang it on the reel. The Ampico reels are available in large numbers in America and England as well-preserved originals. The paper is 28.6 cm wide.

At Ampico, S. Rachmaninoff was a major contributor to the sales success. Nevertheless, there are many fantastic pianists who have recorded exclusively for Ampico. In addition, the US American music repertoire with blues, ragtime, jazz and dance music is also strongly represented here - as with Duo-Art.

Since the Ampico B reel looks identical on the outside, we have not made a separate presentation.
