FS: Duo-Art, Ampico and Nickelodeon
By Bob Wheeler

Jody, thanks for the response and adding me to your list.  I've enjoyed
reading the messages, but I may be flying under false colors.  My
interest in my pianos has declined in recent years and we will soon be
moving to a smaller house as I recently retired.  I would like to sell
some or all of my three pianos and would like to know if this is the
right site to do that, or should I be elsewhere.

 [ This is a good place to start, Bob.  I've fixed up your letter
 [ here like an "ad", and hopefully you will receive some friendly
 [ inquiries from our group.  All three sound interesting.  Good luck.

The Steinway is an upright Duo-Art which I believe was built in 1916.
This piano still plays, but with some loss of expression.

The Knabe appears to be a style K-GE (page 289 of Bower's book), Ampico,
built about 1914.  This is what I believe has been referred to as a
Stoddard Ampico as it preceded the model A.   Unfortunately it no longer
plays.

The nickelodeon, still playing, is a coin operated conversion of a
Conway (?) piano,  with I think 7 instruments.

The pianos are located in Pittsburgh.  I've had them about 20 years.
Thanks for your interest.
