Ampico Modification?
By Pat Mullarky
Hello, all..
I have a 1934 Marshall & Wendall 4'10" "Baby B" Ampico. It has a B Drawer, Type 2 B stack, and a B pump... everything else is A.
My question for the group:
The piano has only one Crescendo, tubed to the Treble side. This Crescendo is tee'd to both Expressions. It was built this way, as I found no screw holes where a second Crescendo would have/could have been mounted, and there were no "tubing stains" on the Bass Crescendo tracker-bar tubes.
Would it be against the credo of restoration to add the second, Bass Crescendo? I have a spare in my shop from a parted-out junked Ampico.
