MMD Archives June 1996 1996.06.22 01 Prev  Next 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. -Pat Mullarky- (Message sent Sat 22 Jun 1996, 18:17:33 GMT, from time zone GMT-0800.) Key Words in Subject:  Ampico, Modification
