Ampico Popular Reproducing Piano Rolls, Played by Adam Carroll
Location:
Tenaha, TX
Description:
Ampico Popular Reproducing Piano Rolls (Recuts & Originals), Played by Adam Carroll — Lot of 10 Items: Ten Ampico reproducing piano rolls — 8 recuts & 2 original rolls — all popular recordings played by Adam Carroll. One roll was recorded by Carroll but sold under one of Carroll’s pseudonyms: Harry Shipman. The two medium sized rolls are original Ampico production rolls and are the oldest rolls in the lot (see photos for roll titles). The other eight rolls are recuts. See the box and roll labels for the roll titles and who produced the recuts. Condition: The boxes and labels on the two original Ampico medium-sized rolls show their age, but the rolls inside are in good condition and should play on your properly regulated Ampico piano. Seven of the large recut rolls are in good condition (see photos), including the boxes. Condition Exception: The Q.R.S. roll, AMP-1021, has a 3/4-inch tear in the edge of the leader (see photo). I have not endeavored to effect a repair of that tear. I will leave that up to the buyer, as it is likely the methods for such a repair have evolved since I purchased the roll. The condition of these boxes suggests that I purchased these rolls secondhand back in the day. I am selling off my Ampico rolls first. Watch for my Duo-Art and Welte (Licensee) rolls in upcoming auctions. I discovered the reproducing piano in 1971 while studying flute in London and coming across Frank Holland’s famous museum dedicated to automated musical instruments. He was quite a character! Subsequently, I owned and enjoyed three different pianos, including Duo-Art, Ampico, and Welte (Licensee). My roll purchases were mainly from the 70s into the early 90s, when I began to sell the pianos. I am just now getting around to selling my collection of reproducing piano rolls. The collection includes Duo-Art, Ampico, and Welte Licensee. Many are original, period rolls; but there are also many recuts. The selection of rolls shows my preferences as a professional orchestral flutist since 1967. The rolls have always been stored properly in closed cabinets, are in excellent condition, and are guaranteed to play well on your properly regulated reproducing piano. I will also be listing a few standard 88-note rolls that caught my fancy. Please examine all the photos, as they are part of the description of the roll. I’ve tried to show the condition of the rolls, the leaders, and the boxes. If you have any questions concerning a roll, feel free to contact me. Watch for more rolls up for auction. I will be grouping lots according to the performer. Nearly all are what I call “European art music,” featuring the great students of Liszt and Leschetitzky, among other famous pianists. I do have some “popular hits of the day” that caught my fancy. Please note that I ship only to verified eBay addresses within the United States. That means no foreign sales. Piano rolls may be sent via the USPS as “media mail.” Should you prefer a faster service, priority mail can be arranged. And thanks for having a look.
