They are easiest to pedal and accent! They
have a magnificent full, mellow tone! Their
cases are magnificent! Theirfinish is superb!
The Player action is built FOR THE
LESTER PIANO in the mammoth
Lester factories. It is not an assent'
bled Player. Each part is made EX
PRESSLY to fit in and work ivith
every other part. No other Player on
earth has this action. It is a Lester
production and is kept for Lesters
ONLY. And yet, with all its many
points of admitted superiority, the
Lester costs no more than many of the
inferior players because it is sold
direct. Easy, confidential terms.
