THE
ten, for it is the voice of experience. And
experience is truth in practical working order.
"Professor Bemis says : 'Your instruments
unqestionably lead the world for beauty of de-
sign, delicate touch and finished workman-
ship.'
"Professor Barker says: 'The "Bay State"
instruments possess a keen delicacy of tone
which other instruments of American manu-
facture seem to lack.'
"These are but two opinions selected from
hundreds of others because the men who give
them are experts. Other experts—judges at
twenty-seven State, National and Interna-
tional Expositions—have used similar ex-
pressions, and backed their opinions with
highest awards. It is significant that the
'Bay State' instruments are the only win-
ners of American Gold Medals."

HOW DO YOU ACCOUNT FOR IT?
Many of the most popular novels have
ended with a question. Possibly there is
no more forcible way in which to bring
the great value of the Pianola to the
serious consideration of those unfamiliar
with it than to ask them to solve a ques-
tion concerning it.
How do you account for the enthus-
iasm of all Pianola owners irrespective
of their musical training, from the great
pianist composer, Paderewski, to the ver-
iest novice who literally does not know
one note from another ?
How do you account for the fact that
Paderewski, Sauer, Moszowski, Rosen-
thai, Hofmann, De Pachmann, Slivin-
ski, Harold Bauer and Dohnanyi have
formed the same opinion about the Pian-
ola—an opinion of unequivocal appro-
val? Not by believing they all made a
mistake.
How do you account for the fact that
the Pianola in the short space of three
years has brought a new industry into
existence and that the demand for this
simplified way of playing the piano has
already tfavelled around the globe?
How do you account for the interest
that sends inquiries the morning follow-
ing the. "opening" of a light opera to see
if its music has beeen arranged for the
Pianola, or for the enormous and con-
stantly increasing demand for all classes
of music? [For it is the music which
the Pianola enables them to play, not
the Pianola itself, the people want.]
How do you account for this new force
in the musical world, which seems to be
gathering strength every day? Those
who own Pianolas appreciate the reason
for it. But you who are unfamiliar with
the Pianola—who have not thoroughly
investigated it—you must have some dif-
ficulty in accounting for this fast spread-
ing Pianolism.
The cost of the Pianola is $250. May
be purchased by moderate payments.
Visitors welcome.
