MNCE the introduction of the player piano, the Baldwin
Company has believed that the true rank of any instru
ment of this kind should lie measured by the freedom
and sureness with which it enables the performer to express his
awn m usical feelings. This conviction is demonstrated through
the
Salòumt
Manualo
(The P la yer Piano that is all but human)
It is the ultimate— the {¿/»mechanical instrument that we have
had in mind from the beginning— the plastic instrument that
musicians have used as their imaginative standard in comparing
player pianos.
In the Baldwin Manualo we offer the successful unification of
the most artistic piano with the most scientific player a<4on in
made in the world.
There is absolutely nothing better, nothing more perfect on the
market, neither as a piano nor a player piano.
Please convince yourself of this at our music rooms. You are
welcome whether you wish to buy or not.
