"It's De-Lovely" Ampico from "Red, Hot and Blue", by Cole Porter, Played by Frank Milne 215941 

That piano has a wonderful sound! I love it!

Wonderful! Great song, great piano (and in tune),great arrangement, and great recording. Thank you.

This has always been one of my favorite rolls, but I've only ever heard MIDI scans of it with poor emulation of the Ampico coding. It's great to hear the real thing on a properly-maintained piano!

This video plays the roll much slower than most piano roll scans for example, I like it!

Just Perfect............in looks and sound A+++

This is the similar grand player piano my friend’s parents used to have except the color of it was brown.

Beautifully arranged by Frank Milne, and dynamically performed on your Mason and Hamlin piano. Bravo!

I envy you ... a Mason & Hamlin AND an Ampico player. I have a Steinway D that I would trade in a heartbeat for a M&H CC. :-) Greatest piano company ever. Thanks for posting.

I'm a piano technician, and I don't think the piano was tuned in any special temperament other than equal temperament. That's just the gorgeous sound of a quality piano when it's in tune. Pretty nice when all the harmonics line up, eh?

He posted a link to the mp3 in the description. Just download it, convert to wav and burn it to a CD. Hope this helps.

Thanks!...glad you are enjoying the music....more to come!

Wonderful...thanks

VERY COOL! Thanks for sharing! :)

just great! This piano is superb , I think i' II sell my car and buy one, it gives me such a lift! Where can these be found?

this was "my style' on the piano...... jazzy...jaz jaz jaz ......

I’ve scoured the internet but can’t find the sheet music for this arrangement. If anyone has any insight where I could get please let me know

This piano is absolutely exquisite! Do you know the brand of hammers installed? My Knabe A is due for new hammers. Thank you for posting this beauty!!!

You've a nice mic stuck in the piano, did you do a high-quality CD? If so, how do I get one?

Thanks DuoArtDanOz and sammipink!

It could very well be.....Ampico was known for 'adding' notes to a roll, so it would have a fuller sound and a better sounding arrangement. Lots of the rolls could not be played by just 1 person. :) Many times, they would add the word "asst" meaning another person assisted in playing the piece.

@aardvaark069- I totally agree. (that Ampico is a superior system) For one thing it is far less tempo sensitive than Duo Art because of it's lock and cancel dynamics as opposed to the accordian pneumatic of the duo-art which is very tempo sensitive. However I think Duo Art is more responsive with accents because of the snake bites. Also I agree Ampico had better "pops" rolls. But Duo-Art did have Pauline Alpert!

I think, in the end, that the Ampico people had so much more fun with their systems possibilities than did the Duo-Art people. The Ampico seems far superior to me than the Duo-Art. I'm puttin' my Steinway Duo-Art up for sale and lookin' to get an Ampico system piano.

Wait...THERE'S NOBODY PLAYING THE PIANO!!! THIS IS CRAZY!!!!!!
