The message of great music brought to
you as the masters would have you hear it.
Automatically reproduced with all their personal interpre
tations so faithfully given that you lislen in awe and amazement
as you almost feel their presence. -
Infinite shades of expression (all automatically given)
are produced with most perfect fidelity.
Master records made by famous composers themselves
and leading master pianists arc obtainable. Last month the
Duo-Art took Harold Bauer's place before a distinguished
audience at a concert given by the Philadelphia Orchestra.
The Duo-Art Pianola plays itself with motive power
from any electric light socket, and stops automatically.
But you can, if you wish, control every note or vary tempo
or expression while using any standard pianola record-roll; and
you can, of course, play it'by hand.
Aside from the pleasure it affords, its educational value
to the student of music is inestimable.
Obtainable here in the Steinway, Steck, Stroud or Weber
pianos. i
Demonstrations at yotlr convenience.
$885 upwards. Liberal, allowance for other instruments
