my leet upon the pedals softly, and gently comes the suggestion of the falling of
the snow. I never could play this on the piano, but now by a touch of the time
lever and a little graded pressure on the pedals, I can put a world of feeling into
it. Now I try the 'Little Shepherd' part, and mercy 1 you can almost hear the
little fellow piping to his sheep ! The effect is exquisite, and yet I am getting
the soft little burets of tone simply by swinging a simple lever back and forth.
It all seems so simple, and yet it is wonderful, too 1 The delicate musical effects
possible only to fine musicians I have gained at the cost of a little practice. The
few simple devices on the Pianola allow me to play with a feeling that no mere
player piano ever could equal.
"It is marvellous how these patented devices of the Pianola make it differ so
greatly from all the other instruments which its success has brought upon the market."

Enables you to play the piano tceRt
Have you ever stopped to wonder
why the Pianola has become so well
known in such a short time ? Perhaps
you do not know that in every civilized
country in the world it is just as popu
lar as it is here.
It is because the Pianola is really a
marvellous instrument with which you
can not only play the piano but play
it with truly musical feeling. This is
the important part, and this is why the
Pianola has been endorsed by every
PIANOLA
great musician of the world, and why
it differs so immeasurably from all the
so-called player pianos which try to
imitate it.
We are representatives of the gen
uine Pianola in this city, and we handle
no player-pianos besides the Pianola
line, We would like to play the Pianola
for you, show you wherein it differs from
the player-pianos sold at other stores
and we cordially invite you to visit
our.Warerooms at your .cpnvenience.
Important:
You should understand that there is but one
Pianola; it ia made only by the Aeolian Company; it
is sold in this city at this store; and is obtainable in
the following models;
