Seek Ampico "Nutcracker Suite" Part One
By Mike Nichols

Greetings from the UK.  Because there are very few Ampico B Pianos
in the UK, I get most of my rolls from the USA via the eBay listings.
I recently managed to purchase Parts Two and Three of the "Nutcracker
Suite" played by Frank Sheridan (Keystone recut) but I am finding that
Part One is very elusive.  If any MMDer has this at a reasonable price
I would be happy to purchase it to make my set complete.

A couple of years ago I purchased one of the Ampico A/B Translators
from the US, and that makes so much difference when playing A rolls
that I don't mind if its an A or B roll though I suspect that the two
rolls that I have are probably "A" format.

Thanks in advance,
Mike Nicholls
