The Artrio Angelus
Reproducing Piano Heard in Recital
Cincinnati musicians enthusiastic over first recital of this kind
given in that section of the country—Ferdinand Himmelreich,
pianist, plays in comparison—Excellent programs presented
The Wilcox & White Co.,
Meriden, Conn.
Gentlemen:
One of the most pleasant experiences of my entire profes-
sional career was singing with the wonderful ARTRIO.
Too
much cannot be said of the splendid support it gives the singer.
Since the recital I have met many who heard it, and everyone
spo1(c of the wonderful instrument and its possibilities.
Thanking you for the courtesies extended to me by your
representatives, I am,
Yours very truly,
(Signed) Antoinette Werner-West.

Gentlemen:
I wish most heartily to congratulate you and the manu-
facturers of the ANGELUS ARTRIO on the wonderful per-
formance of this instrument at your novel recital at the Gibson
the past evening. The accompaniment as played by the AN-
GELUS left nothing to be desired. One would scarcely be-
lieve that such expression could be produced by means of an
electrically operated instrument. You and its manufacturers
are to be congratulated.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) Chas. K. Sayre.
Cincinnati, O.—The A R T R I O ANGELUS Reproducing Piano was most favorably introduced to the people of Cin-
cinnati by the recitals given on the afternoon and evening of November 20 in the beautiful ballroom of Hotel Gibson, under
the auspices of the Otto Grau Piano Co. These recitals were the first given in the Middle West featuring this wonderful
instrument and they were remarkably successful from every point of view.
A striking feature of these concerts was the accompanying of the soloists, Mrs. Werner-West, soprano, and Mr. Sayre,
'cellist, by the ARTRIO. To the audience the picture was almost uncanny, as, entirely unaided, this remarkable instrument
performed its part with faithful certainty and musical precision. In fact, as one of the art critics said, it is not too much to
say that the work of the ARTRIO was perfection itself.
Mr. Himmelreich was the assisting artist, and in addition to playing several solo numbers at both recitals, he also played
on a manual piano simultaneously with the reproduction of his playing on the ARTRIO ANGELUS. The audience was
unable to distinguish between his playing and that of his A R T R I O record.
