Hupfeld Duo-Art & Marque Ampico
By Patrick Boeckstijns

Hi, I have two short questions :

1) Is Hupfeld the name of a piano or the name of a player system ?

Someone told me they were considering selling their Hupfeld Duo-Art.
Now I'm wondering, is this a Hupfeld *piano* with Aeolian Duo-Art
pneumatics, or was there some misunderstanding as is it a piano (which
brand ?) with a Hupfeld player, the latter being unable to play Duo-Art
rolls and requires Hupfeld rolls (Solodant, DEA, etc.)?

2) Is the Marque Ampico a half-Ampico (pedals for theme), a full Ampico
(electric, theme and accompaniment) or are both models existing ?  How
easy are Ampico rolls to find (old and new) compared to Duo-Art rolls?

Thanks and Best Regards

Patrick Boeckstijns
