WHAT MAKES the DIFFERENCE Why i"o y tt charg n much mor tor a Plaver linn than for piano-au(.W I. r your Chsait I'lsyer ami only ll&O.CK) fur yuur Cheap est I'lamiT asked one of our friend thai other day. It occurred to ua that ether nitifhl have the aam thought, o w wlah to explain. To bogn with our WW 00 piano w are convinced will ttand up per fectly whn umkI aa piano la used In lh avarsg noma, but w ar not aure that It would aland up satisfactorily If aulJurtd to the hard usage f a player. It la estimated that a modern player piano la played 1 from ten to twenty limea aa much aa a straight piano in the averK home, and because of ihla and the fact that a player playa the dlllicult ar ran(emenU with their crushing affect aa readily aa the moat simple tort of niuale, a player piano haa to be built well in order to etend up ml atay In tune. Then, the player arll.m uaod In our Bhnle Tlayer at .H5.00 ia an up-tn-the niinuU, free from troul.ie action- combination we know will pleaae and one which will not cause aa tnmltle aa time C oe on. A rheap player action Inatalled In our 1100,00 piano could eaally be had for 9275.0U, but we could not recommend it. A piano or player la an investment of yeara, a lifetime Investment In many eeaea, therefore we alwaya recommond the beat the euatomer feela able In buy. There ia full value for every additional dollar you have to pay for rur llalnva liroa., Haielton llroa, or for the Ulurioua Old Chickering. In any eaae, aee ua and our planoa and Jilayei before you buy. We will aave you money.
