Brian, Don't be too quick to condemn the playing of the Ampico
piano at the Nethercutt museum as being too fast. I also have the
Ampico roll played by George Gershwin himself and it is lightening
fast, that's the way Gershwin played it.
I asked several organists friends about this exact subject and all
said Gershwin played it really fast. Most people do indeed like it
a bit slower.
