Why Pianola Player Pianos Are the Standard The famous group of Pianola Player Pianos are the only instruments legally en titled to be called Pianola Player Pianos, for they are the only instruments which con tain the real "Pianola" action and the fol lowing patented features: The Metrostyle,' which gives the exact interpretation of the as ereat artists: The Themodist. which sures the proper emphasis .of the melody 1 "The Automatic Sustaining Pedal," which produces the touch and tonal effects of a master pianist, and scores of other features found in no other instrument, but exclusively in the Pianola Player Pianos.
