Duo-Art Upright Pianos
By Randy Hammond

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

I have an Ampico grand and I am debating about purchasing an upright
Duo-Art as I do not have room for two grands.  I have been looking at
an upright Stroud with full Duo-Art that needs a total redo.  I would
rather have a Weber; I have seen only a few upright Duo-Arts.

The Aeolian and the Stroud appear to be the exact same piano with a few
minor case variations.  When I look in the Encyclopedia of Mechanical
Music, the name Weber does not seem to appear on the plate of the piano
in the picture.  I am beginning to wonder if the upright Duo-Arts were
stenciled pianos with the exception of the Steinway.

Thank you for your help on this one.  I know that this may be a pretty
simple and elementary question but the restorers and experienced hobby
people are the experts on this.
