Pianola Piano-mastery

If one could suddenly be provided with the ability to play the piano perfectly, and to retain this ability without the necessity of constant practice, would not one gladly pay $250?

The

he Pianola will provide this wonderful ability. It will give to any one absolute control over the piano.

The Pianola is a triumph of mechanism in that it provides a means for doing that which has always been considered impossible.

The Pianola, by means of a very clever and scientific system of pneumatics, provides the technique for any given selection, and also provides simple means for introducing whatever of temperamental control of the expression the taste of the. player may dictate.

The Pianola will enable any one, without having to go through the drudgery of acquiring technique, to play the piano with all the modulations of tempo, the delicacy and variety of touch, and with the subtle phrasing of a master.

The Pianola's repertory at present consists of 7,931 selections, and new numbers to the amount of two hundred are added every month. This music, representing the entire pianoforte literature of the world, from Bach, Beethoven, and Wagner, to Sousa's marches, cake-walks, and two-steps, is available through the circulating library.

Is it not worth while to consider the advisability of owning a Pianola yourself? The fear or opinion that it is capable of producing only mechanical music should not deter you from investigating the Pianola. The greatest pianists have passed judgment on tris point, pronouncing the Pianola artistic in the true sense of the word.
