Unifonn excellence is a prominent characteristic
of Steinway pianos. The name on the "fallboard
of this upright is a hallmark and guaranty of the
consistent Steinway quality assurance that the
golden tone.-glory of the great grands is also in this
smaller piano the same marvelous electric pre
cision of all its action and the everlasting resist
ance to wear that has made the Steinway the wonder
and despair of competition. .
If vou have not investigated the varied adaptations of the
Steinway Duo-Art Pianola Piano, you should come at once
and hear it. Three pianos In one. It will play automatically ;
or you may play it with fingers or roll.
