THE PIANO OF THE MASTERS The golden beauty of tone is the charm of the Chickering Piano. Its tone is full, rich and resonant and particularly pleasing to the discriminating musician. The Ampico in the Chickering gives you the art of the masters of the keyboard. You sit and listen to the most beautiful music of the ages rendered by the Ampico as perfectly as though the artists were present in person.
