DUO-ART PIANOLA-PIANO
brin;
your very home
ACTUAL
playing of the world's greatest pianists
I LEASE please dismiss from your mind
the possibilities and performances of the
ordinary player-piano. The Duo-Art
Pianola-Piano is something quite apart
a masterly forward stride of genius
product of the famous Aeolian Company, largest
makers of musical instruments in the world. Just
as their Pianola's roll-playing feature which,
while embracing the piano, added something new
and vtal to that instrument, so now, their Duo-Art,
while it embraces the Pianola, possesses the mar
velous additional ability to reproduce the actual
key-board performances of any noted pianist, with
absolute verity.
Just consider for a moment the significance of this
statement. The world's greatest pianists are
recording Duo-Art music rolls. Thousands of
their concert pieces have been played and are
being played into these rolls for permanent pres
ervation. Therefore, with the Duo-Art Pianola
Piano, one acquires absolute command in one's
own home of the genius of such masters of the
piano as Paderewski, Bauer, Busoni, Gabrilo
".tsch, Grainger and scores of others, who at any
moment will step to youipiano-f orte and play, will
actually equal their best performances upon the
concert stage. The voices of the world's greatest
singers have been reproduced with wonderful
fidelity on the Victrola now the Duo-Art, with"
flawless exactness, repeats the performances of"
eminent pianists with identical reproduction of
technique, tone, tempo and pedaling. Neither the
mechanism of the instrument nor the perforated
music roll will add or detract in the slightest detail
as the artist played, so one hears.
No description of this instrument's wonderful
powers can approach the instant comprehension
that comes with hearing it. And think of it, by the
touching of a small lever, the Duo-Art becomes a
regular Pianola, playing any player-piano musifc
rolls and offering the performer unlimited scope
for the exercise of his own powers of interpreta
tionor it may be used for hand-playing at any"
time.
The, Duo-Art Pianola-Piano is built only in the fol
lowing Pianos all of which are sqjd by this house.
Steinway Weber jSteck Stroud
Prices begin at $795
The Duo-Art Pianola-Piano is guaranteed, for ten
years, both by the Aeolian Company and "The
House that Heppe built."
