Ampico Lexington - Dinner Music - Easy To Love, etc (Jumbo) Various Pianists

[@stephenvinson6474]

American know how and technical genius....the epitome of the lowly "player" piano ....taken to a whole new level ..back then.

[@Organgrinder1010]

These are perhaps some of the most sensitively-arranged piano pieces ever heard on a reproducing piano. Genuine musicianship shines through the mechanics in great fashion.

[@QuandtHenderson]

Kudos to whoever rebuilt this player piano. It's a first-rate job as well as being perfectly tuned. Thanks to the current owner who was kind enough to share this magnificent work of superb craftsmanship with us. Thank you.

[@bryansmith2649]

We grew up with a player piano in the 1970s and it always ended up being played when we had company over. I really do miss it and thank you for sharing yours. Nothing beats the tunes back then.

[@johntyjp]

The greatest period of ballad songwriters played on a top player piano, wonderful!

[@pianmn199]

Can't go wrong with that! Thanx, and glad you enjoyed it!

[@HESOYAM442]

Very nice and beautiful sound piano. Thank you for sharing.

[@marcgoodman4228]

Still, this is one of the best reproducing AMPICO s on line!!

[@brainwithani5693]

A man named Merton Bobo, who was a WW2 vet and died in 2017, had this as the only song on his KZbin playlist. I found him in a comment section of the Harry Roy song "she lost it at the Astor". I'm now his only subscriber. Thanks Merton.

Once again; how perfectly delightful!

[@minimalizman]

Just...wow...I want one! 😆

[@lionelrisler2657]

Bravo very good restauration of this instrument

[@mrmusiclover4178]

Very nicely done video. That piano is great (and in tune!)! We used to have a player piano when I was a kid.

[@janettewalker3991]

Gladdens the heart and rainy days. Lovely.

[@oldbear52]

Thank you John for another great JUMBO roll!!!

[@pianmn199]

You are most welcome! Thanx, for your kind comment. Enjoy!

[@BertieW0oster]

Your videos are great, I have downloaded some in mp3 format for enjoying whenever I want. -Thanks for uploading!

[@keenlyme]

Love it! So relaxing....

[@tomboxer11932]

nice collection of songs. Paul Rickenbach was my grandfather.

[@Organgrinder1010]

Amazing quality! The instrument even LOOKS in mint condition! I enjoy the music played at 0.75 speed. It doesn't sound so frenetic.

[@pianmn199]

Thanx, for your kind comment. Enjoy!

[@pianmn199]

Most Welcome! Thanks for your most kind comment!

[@pagano7162]

Awesome!

[@brianmarland1074]

yes a lovely roll, cannot beat a good Ampico either......Brian Marland Hastings UK.

[@pianmn199]

@HESOYAM442 Most Welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@pianmn199]

@tomboxer11932 Thanks for your comment Great to hear from familys of pianists from the long past!

[@edcronin5409]

Very nice

[@pianmn199]

Thanx, glad you enjoyed it.

[@marcgoodman4228]

Super sounding AMPICO piano. I think new bass strings would make it even better!

[@PiotrBarcz]

The strings were replaced.

[@Nunofurdambiznez]

Someone further down in the comments suggested playing "As Time Goes By" at 0.75 speed.. at first I was gonna leave a smart-a$$ comment.. but, instead, I decided to try it.. I LIKE IT at that speed!

[@pianmn199]

@oldbear52 Thanx Dave, glad you enjoy them all!

[@pianmn199]

Thanx, glad you enjoyed it!

[@nandaayushofiana1717]

I enjoyed it so much , i love this! thank you

[@PiotrBarcz]

HOW DOES THAT ROLL FIT IN THE SPOOL BOX???!!!

[@DavidGiumenti-sm6yi]

Wow

[@pianmn199]

I play many of my rolls slower, that I think brings out the melody better, and easier to sing to. Many of the tempo stamps to me seem too fast. When I spliced these rolls together, I had to check the tempo on each First, to decide which would go where.

[@andrewciricillo9726]

Do you have any videos talking about how you spliced the rolls together? Or any resources you used for information/support?

[@PiotrBarcz]

Can someone tell me where I can get these HUGE rolls?

[@jojosopian1562]

Woww nice #indonesia

[@marcgoodman4228]

I am confused. This is an AMPICO but seems to have DUO-ART tracking ears.

[@PiotrBarcz]

Ampicos had tracking ears.

[@unclelouie3828]

For me- this piano is the "gem" of "gems" on KZbin. Just out of curiosity where are you located?

[@johntaber3911]

uncle louie, HI, these were my dad's pianos his pride and joy. He lived in Connecticut USA.

[@dreip]

how did you create that video if u don't mind me asking

[@pianmn199]

A video camera with 2 Mono mics. The rest tells itself. Mics are adjusted for overloudness.

[@dreip]

that's actual footage?! i swear i thought that was computer graphics

[@pianmn199]

No, That is the real thing! I have 3 reproducing pianos all in one room! Check them out!

[@waybak43]

I liked "As Time Goes By" on speed of .75 It's how I would play it. Otherwise it's too fast for that tune.
