IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE PIANO TRADE
OUR
88 NOTE
Conover JNNER-PLAYBR PIANO
Is Ready For Delivery In Quantities.
This is the instrument samples of which were exhibited at the Chicago Convention last year.
Read these facts about it:
IT HAS A NEW 88 NOTE SCALE.
The scale of the music sheet covers the entire range of the keyboard but is of less Width than the
65 note scale.
The music sheets are cut from new master sheets arranged upon the full keyboard standard.
Note that although expense might have been saved by having 65 note master sheets used,
"extending" some of the notes into octaves, new 88 note master sheets have been made, as we
believe that to be the only correct basis for the production of rolls for the 88 note scale.
The rolls being smaller and lighter than any other 88 note rolls, require less shelf-room, cost less
for transportation and are more convenient to handle.
IT HAS ALL THE ORIGINAL AND EXCLUSIVE FEATURES
OF OUR STANDARD INNER-PLAYER MECHANISM.
The transposing Device: the Miniature Keyboard for producing an elastic touch: patented
Leverage System for easy Pedaling: Six Unit Motor: the Solo Aid which plays the solo or
melody louder than the accompaniment: patent Wrist-rest and Lever Cover: Pneumatic Clutch:
easy running ball bearing Roll Mechanism: Direct Motor Drive without use of chains while
playing: Tilting Superstructure to facilitate tuning: Metallic Construction of certain parts of
action to eliminate effects of atmospheric changes: Tempo Indicator placed close to Music
Sheet to facilitate reading of guide marks: Sectional Bellows, easily disconnected to give access
to concealed parts: Pedals so arranged that they can be folded in or withdrawn without being
touched by the hands: use of Fibre in contact with metal to prevent rattles: Slide Valves
transfixed by steel pins to prevent warping: and extraordinary strength of back.
IT CAN BE USED WITH 65 NOTE MUSIC ROLLS AS WELL AS
WITH 88 NOTE ROLLS. NO ADJUSTMENT BEING NECESSARY.
IT IS GUARANTEED FOR FIVE YEARS.
Our written guarantee for five years applying to both the piano and the player mechanism is given
with this new instrument.
TO PIANO DEALERS:
The Conover 88 Note Inner-Player Piano marks the most notable advance in the development of
high grade player mechanism and it opens new possibilities in every dealer's field of operation.
Its importance makes it an object for You to write at once for further information.
