Randy Hayno asks regarding an Ampico utilizing the Melville Clark spring
motor roll drive mechanism. I've never seen an Ampico equipped with this
system, but I do own ( with a friend) an Apollo-phone piano that encorporate
the spring wind system with a separate, built in victrola-type spring wound
phonograph. I've been told that rolls and corresponding records were produced
to create the effect of a vocalist accompanied by a "live" piano, but I've
never come across either records or piano rolls labeled for this purpose.
Has anyone on the digest ever seen or heard of this now quaint concept?

Happy holidays to all from sunny SoCal.
