The Genuine and Justly Famous
Hardman Autotone
widely conceded to be
The World's Perfect Player-Piano
is offered for the first and only time at decided savings through the helpful co-operation of a
Gimbel Piano Club
We are representatives in this large section of t
Messrs. Hardman. Peck & Co., New York
and recently made a bulk offer for all their Hardman Autotones of two really beautiful styles. They
will have to make new case styles to replace them. It is this purchase we are privileged to offer on the
club plan and therefore
This Club is Limited to One Hundred and Fifty
r
The Hardman Autotone so decidedly "the world's perfect player-piano" endorsed and owned
and used and appreciated by
Caruso, Tetrazzini and Scores of.
the Other Grand Opera Artists
puts a power within reach of both novice and professional musician that opens wide the musical
wealth of the ages.
Said Professor Maurits Leefson, an integral part of the musical life of Philadelphia, in the "North
American" of 14th inst. :
"l find the player of the utmost value in teaching advanced
pupils. When a student has reached the point where he can play
the classics, when he knows a great body of really good musical
literature, he can get a great deal out of the player.
"After studying .1 composition himself, then perfecting it
under the guidance of his master, he can compare his perform
ance of it to the way Bauer, Hofmann or Goodson plays it. I do
this frequently with my pupils. Occasionally we find some great
pianist has tampered with the composition. He has made certain
inserts or abbreviations. Maybe he has shifted ccrta'in measures.
"All this, of course, is of the utmost value for purposes of
comparison and even for imitation. Then the new players have
everything, even to the last detail of pedaling. Their reproduction
of an artist's performance is really almost perfect. Dut with all
the wonderful things mechanics have done for music in recent
years, I believe more is yet to be' accomplished. We shall see
many new and wonderful things."
For three-quarters of a century the Hardman has enriched our national home life byreason of its rich sonority
of tone, delicacy of touch and unsurpassed durability.
The Hardman Autotone
is famous as being this regal piano plus a playing mechanism perfected by its builders, who developed the Hardman
Autotone as a musical unit, building up the piano and player attachment as a harmonious whole the resultant instru
ment having a purity of tone impossible with Player-Pianos formed by attaching within the case or sounding-chamber
an extraneous mechanism that cati only tend to rob the pjano ofits goodness.
The Hardman Autotone is of stable value all over Americaa known cash price, and a partjal-payment price
which simply adds interest to the original price. Club members skip interest and more. Based on the total partial
payment prices, the Gimbel Club offers ' "
Hardman Autotone, Style A,

The Gimbel Club' Plan -

into the agreement.
