THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW

Did You Ever
put your feet on these
A man buys shoes with rub-
ber heels or soles because he
is convinced they make walk-
ing easier.
N o t h i n g m a k e s a man
grouchy quicker than foot-
wear that has a tendency to
pinch or that possesses that
sort of "stiff" feeling.
In operating a player-piano
the musician wants above all
to feel that the foot action is
free and easy to the nth power.
Realizing the tremendous
sensitiveness of human feet,
the Amphion master builders
have constructed foot pedals
operating bellows that are capable of interpreting to the keyboard the heaviest
or slightest "foot-whim" of the person playing.
With the Amphion action the sound produced by the hammers striking the string
can be reduced almost to a whisper by the unconsciously used means of expression
which are located entirely in the player pedals. The operator can change the
degree of force even within the limits of pianissimo; he can render one note or bar
with all the volume of tone of the piano while the next note can be as soft as to be
hardly audible, an important point which makes the "Amphion Action—your
guarantee."
