THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
DECEMBER 26, 1925
How do you like the first of the Gulbransen 1926 series? Isn't there a personal note there
that makes you want to read it? We think so—and remember, more than twelve million
families will see it, in a group of the most powerful National mediums!
THE SATURDAY EVENING POST
January 9, 1926
the self
you have hidden
away
the routine of our daily lives most
B
of us hide something of ourselves away.
There is a bit of Paderewski in every man;
EHIND
there is a little of Melba in every woman.
We listen to other people sing for us, other
people play for us. We would like to do
these things ourselves.
We would like to feel the thrill and satis-
faction of putting ourselves into the creation
of something fine. It's normal, it's human.
For such of us the Gulbransen Registering
Piano is made.
You need no musical training to play it;
it plays by roll. Yet you control its playing.
You can hush it to a whisper, or release its
clear, sweet tones in brilliant volume. You
can play fast or slow, accent melody and
harmony notes, accompany voices or other
instruments. It is simple and easy.
You can, in a word, do anything that you
could do {{you played by hand. This is true
of the Gulbransen alone—the only piano of
its kind in the world.
Only the Gulbransen has the special pat-
ented construction—the Registering feature—
which registers your touch exactly. Ordi-
nary roll-played pianos, lacking this feature,
sound mechanical. The Gulbransen, having
it, is responsive, personal, human. It gives
you all the enjoyment of hand playing. Its
music cannot be told from hand playing.
That is why the Gulbransen is the largest
selling piano in America today. Thousands
of pianists, recognizing its superb quality,
To lose yourself completely in the PLAYINC* of fine music
own it and play it both by hand and by roll.
The Gulbransen alone plays all piano rolls.
Why deny yourself the deep enjoyment
this wonderful instrument will bring into
your home? With the Gulbransen—and the
Gulbransen only—the pleasure you have so
often longed for can now so easily be yours!
A small cash payment will put the Gulbran-
sen Registering Piano in your home. Sub-
sequent payments to suit your convenience.
Allowance will be made for your present
piano or other musical instrument.
Four upright Registering models: Com-
munity, $450; Suburban, $530; Country Seat,
$615; White House, $700. Gulbransen Grand,
$785; Registering Grand, $12.75. For your
protection we stamp the price of each in-
strument on the back at the factory.
The Nat'I Ass'n of Piano Tuners recommends that all pianos be
tuned two to jour times a year—-your Gulbransen deserves this.
