DALRYMPLE DISCUSSES PLANS.
PEERLESS
PLAYER-PIANOS
AMONG
The Hardman Autotone
The Piano all can play,
cither by hand or Perforated
Music Rolls.
The advantages which dis-
tinguish the Hardman Auto-
tone from all other Player-
pianos are precisely those
which strongly appeal to peo-
ple of taste, refinement and in-
telligence, quite apart from
their possession of expert mu-
sical knowledge.
Autotone Advantages
The A u t o t o n e is made
throughout, piano and player
mechanism, by Piano makers
of world-wide reputation. It
is, therefore, a harmoniously
sensitive musical instrument.
The Autotone is the only
Player-piano which the great-
est artists who visit. America
take pleasure in playing in the
intimacy of their own homes,
and whose artistic qualities
they endorse in the most un-
qualified terms.
The Autotone is the only
Player-piano whose expression
devices, which embody entirely
new principles, are so effective
and so easily controlled that
without any technical knowl-
edge of music, the operator can
interpret any composition with
the maximum degree of indi-
viduality and artistic expres-
sion.
SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE
AUTOTONE
The Accentor. Which supplies the human
touch.
TheTransposor. Which enables any composi-
tion to he transposed into another key.
The Adjuster. Which insures perfect track-
ing of the music-roll.
The Selector.
Which enables any desired
passage to he picked out and played
separately.
The Combination Which enables, by a touch,
Tracker Board, cither 88-notc or (i.j-note rolls
to be played by the same instrument.
The Pedal Guide. An automatic guide to the
correct use of the loud pedal operated
directly from the music-roll.
The Autotone is made in two Basic Pianos
only.
The Hardman. New York's finest art product.
The Harrington A piano for refined tastes at
a medium price.
The Autotone An excellent instrument at a
Player-Piano. l o w price.
