The Last Word
in Player Piano
Construction
You have
among your
clientele many
people to whom the
player piano would be a
magnet if it were possible for
them to play some favorite compo-
sition without themselves possessing a
musical knowledge.
Under such conditions they would be interested
in the player piano and a larger business vista would be
open to you, if the untrained player pianist could obtain
delicate phrasing and perfect musical results.
Admitted—for a majority of people who buy player pianos are busy
men and women, and the Stoddard-Ampico mechanism incorporated in
the Knabe piano enables every player to accomplish surprising results,
in other words, it places the things previously unattainable directly within
the reach of all.
It places in the hands of everyone the power to play and play well
and it also puts in the hands of the skillful pianist elements of perfection
which have been hitherto impossible to attain.
If you wish to spend an evening with the great musicians, if you
wish to play as great artists have played, this marvelous player mecha-
nism, which is within reach, will enable you to do this.
It is not only a great boon to the amateur but it is a greater boon to
the skilled musician, for while the novice may get from it ideas as to
how music should sound, the experienced player finds additional
weapons placed in his hand with which to conquer the most subtle and
delicate elements in piano playing—the elements of touch, tone quality
and life.
!
If you wish to enlarge your business operations in a surprising
manner this player mechanism, which, aside from individual features,
contains every worthy type of player mechanism, affords you the
opportunity; in brief, it is the last word in player construction.
