The Pianola Piano
A Piano That Will Give You Tea Times More
Actual Pleasure Than Any Piano You .
Have Ever Owned.
There are two accepted ways of play
ing the piano today :
1. By hand.
2. By the Pianola.
Both of these methods are united
in tbe"Pianola. You can turn from
one method to the other INSTANT
ANEOUSLY. The Pianola ia built
into the piano itself, so that there is
nothing to move up to or away from
the keyboard. Both piano and Pianola .
are just as effective as though in separ
ate instruments.
Neyer has a piano been presented
to the public which has met with such
a remarkable and enthusiastic recep
tion as the Pianola Piano. Its great
success was to be expected, for it re
presents the logical development of
the piano. It enables everyone to ob
tain from a piano ALL the musical
. enjoyment the instrument is capable
of. In the light of this important
improvement in piano-construction,
all previous pianos seem incomplete.
Hence the Pianola Piano has become
universally known as "The First Cotq
plete Piano."
Pianos of all makes taken in ex
