WTB: AMPICO Grand Stack
By John Grant

I am trying to locate a late Ampco "A" (flange finger) grand stack for a 6'2" Knabe. Configuration as follows:


B <-22 strikers-> G   G# <-22 strikers-> E   F <-20 strikers-> C#  D <-19 strikers-> A
| | | | | | | |
| <---11 3/4"---> | | <---11 1/2"---> | | <---9 3/4"----> | | <---9 1/4"----> |
| |<->| |<->| |<->| |
| 1 3/4" 1 1/2" 1 1/2" |
| |
|<-----------------------47" overall length, B to A strike points------------------->|


In case this attempt at "drawing" gets screwed up by proportional font spacing, the finger counts are 22-22-20-29 with overall length between first and last of 47". Anything reasonably close to this can probably be "rescaled".
Cash or trade. Thank you. -John Grant

{ Editor's note:
[
[ An aquantance of mine was recently hired to work part time
[ for a piano technician who has a QRS Pianomation dealership.
[ They recently removed an AMPICO A drawer and stack from from
[ a smallish grand ( 5'2" ?) to install a Pianomation system
[ at the piano owner's request. This seemed like blasphemy
[ to me, but the good news is they saved all the parts they
[ took out. I have no idea if the parts will fit or if the
[ piano technician will part with them for a reasonable price.
[ If you are interested, I'd suggest you research the "fit" and
[ negotiate price through my buddy. His name is Woody Kirkman
[ and he can be reached at home at 619-789-2156 in the evenings
[ between 9 and 11 PDT, or you can leave a message any time during
[ the day and he'll call you back.
[
