The DUO-ART PIANO

oA Wonderful ^]S[ew
Which Supplants oAll Others in the Home
T
H E Duo-Art Pianola is supplanting all
other types of piano in the home for two
vitally important reasons:
First:—Because it possesses every quality,
attribute and advantage offered by the best
pianos of other types—grands, uprights and
"player" pianos;
Second:—Because it possesses, in addition, a
new attribute that is more important, more
interesting, enjoyable, instructive and revolu-
tionary in its nature, than any other feature that
has ever been developed in the two hundred
years, of the piano's.history.
oAn Inexhaustible Source of
Wonderful Music
This new piano feature introduced by the
Duo-Art Pianola is the power of reproduction.
That is—this unique instrument will repro
duce, or produce again, all kinds of fine piano
performances that have been recorded for it
by the leading pianists of the world. And it
will reproduce these performances exactly as the
pianist played them, to the last minute variation
of touch, tempo and use of pedal.
In order to utilize this marvelous power of
the Duo-Art to the utmost—to give it a value
to the music-lover, the music student and the
home, that goes far beyond any question what-
ever of price, The Aeolian Company has en-
gaged the most distinguished talent of the piano
world to record for the Duo-Art.
Great international concert artists like Pade-
rewski, Hofmann, Bauer, Gabrilowitsch, Ganz,
Grainger, Cortot and Novaes, have made and
are making records of their performances for
the Duo-Art.
Leading performers of dance music, of popu-
lar songs, of sentimental ballads, and of accom-
paniments are giving their services also.
In a word—the owner of a Duo-Art has ac-
cess to all the best piano playing of the world
to draw on, to entertain, to enliven,-to instruct
and inspire him; while no person, no mood and
no occasion can make a demand which cannot
be met with suitable music played by the most
expert performers of its particular class.
These, then, are the reasons why the Duo-
Art Pianola is to supplant and is already rapidly
supplanting all other types of piano in the home.
:
'*]"HE Duo-Art stands supreme among reproducing pianos and I do not
hesitate to identify myself with it and to entrust it with my reputation.
I am most happy to avail myself of such a wonderful means of having
to posterity a record, as nearly perfect as can be conceived, of my inter-
pretative art."
(Signed) HAROLD
BAUER.
Descriptions do scant justice to this wonder-
ful instrument. Comprehension comes only
fully when it is seen, heard and played.
In tune, in action, in appearance, the Duo-
Art Piano represents the highest development
of the piano-maker's art.
