While I love my Ampico, I miss my 88-noter a lot.   It got sacrificed so I
could get (and fit) the ampico.  It was a Remington, with an unknown player
action.  Built in Indiana, I believe.   Anyway, it was so sensitive that I
could accent individual single notes in a solo line, and get real neat
syncopations going etc.   Ah, well, when my job gives me a $100,000
bonus -- when my composing hobby lands me a Broadway show -- when the moon
comes crashing over the mountains -- when there *is* affordable housing
in urban areas ........
