DEALERS
who appreciate the value of a
truly fine piano, with a thor-
oughly dependable player action
embodying many exclusive fea-
tures, backed by a consistent
campaign of national advertis-
ing and intensive direct selling
help should get in touch with
us immediately.
ALWAYS DEPENDABLE
S
IT down before the Straube Artrono me and enjoy your kind
of music—music in which you may have a part. Here the
lifting lilt of popular song, appealing melody of beloved old bal-
lads, classical resources of great pianists are all at your command.
Slip any music roll into the special carrier. Automatically
the roll is guided into perfect playing position. In an instant
you have given yourself up to the music.
After the first thrill upon finding it so easily operated, you
forget mechanism. The Artronome has become a means of
expressing yourself in the music. The fidelity with which it
thus mirrors your moods is one of its chief delights. And it
brings out all the rich beauty of Straube tone.
Easy operation, responsiveness, and glorious tone are matched
by the staunch dependability of the Straube Artronome. Its
very presence in the home is a standing invitation to all the
family to enjoy the music each likes best. And it requires only
the consideration one naturally gives to so fine an instrument.
The Melo'Harp, an exclusive Straube
feature, brought into play by the touch
of a button, lends a pleasing variety
and adds to the expressiveness of the
Artronome.
The case designs of Straube instruments
are masterpieces of architectural beauty.
The Straube dealer will gladly explain
the superior features of the Artronome
action, including the patented pendu-
lum valve. If you do not know the
dealer in your community, write direct
to the factory; we'll put you in touch
with him.
