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.
