THE MUSIC TRADE: REVIEW
JUST REMEMBER
"The Thing Which Couldn't Happen Has Occurred"
Had Solomon lived in this day and generation, he would have admitted
the discovery of
SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN
The "Artistano" considered in its entirety is different from all other players.
Its best features have been the envy of all competitors.
Its superiority won laurels from New York to San Francisco during the
first and only Recital Tour in the world in which a player-grand was used for
solos and accompaniments—all this in the largest musical centers and before
the most critical audiences, composed of the best dealers and their especially
invited guests.
Now comes the latest and best of all its equipment.
"THE ARTISTANO ACCENTING DEVICE"
The Artistano Accenting Device enables the
performer to obtain all the exquisite gradations
of tone, accentuation, and phrasing, possible in
manual playing.
The Artistano Accenting Device is a radi-
cal departure from the so called "expression de-
vices" of other players.
The Artistano Accenting Device is really a
wonderful invention,—marvelous in its almost
human ability to interpret the spirit of the
composition.
The Artistano Accenting
Device is not mechanically au-
tomatic, but humanly auto-
matic, precisely as the muscles
of the arms and ringers are au-
tomatic in their response to the
will.
The actuation of the remarkably sensitive
pedals naturally parallels the trend of the score.
The reservoir bellows responds in harmony with
the movement of the pedals, this energy being
transmitted to the hammer rail, which, in turn,
moves up close to the strings, or away from
them, the same as in manual playing, thus en-
abling the performer to emphasize the theme,
melody, chords, etc., in keeping with the score,
or his individual interpretation, as if he were
playing by hand.
The Artistano Accenting
Device is new in principle.
No other approaches it in
musical efficiency.
There is nothing like it, or
equal to it, on the market.
The Artistano, both upright
and grand, will be on exhibi-
tion at the Richmond Conven-
tion, May 16-21, 1910, Booth
No. 4, Exhibition Hall.
