The Music Trade Review
MAY 8, 1926
We cannot too strongly emphasize the fact that this type of copy has proved its effectiveness in picking out interested prospects,
resulting in many immediate and direct sales. There is no theory about this—and for that reason it is singularly productive when
used in YOUR LOCAL NEWSPAPERS. Do you know the details of our complete tie-up plan?

'-pHE SONGS you sang when you
JL were young—sing them again!
The wonderful old hymns on Sun-
day afternoon . . . the simple melo-
dies so rich in memories.
The catchy tunes your children
hum—bring their music into your
home. Make that home a place
where brother's chums, sister's beau,
all the young folks, love to gather.
Learn the greatest joy of music
—the joy of singing to musk you play
yourselves.
The Gulbransen has made this
possible—even though you cannot
read a note of music.
A small cash payment will put the
Gulbransen Registering Piano in
your home. Subsequent payments
to suit your convenience. Allow-
ance will be made for your present
piano or other musical instrument.

els: Community, $450; Suburban,

SONGS
the beautiful old ones...the
infectious new ones...sing
them to the music of your
The Gulbransen plays by roll.
Yet you control its playing. You can
accompany voices or other instru-
ments, play fast or slow, accent mel-
ody and harmony notes. You can
hush the music to a whisper, or re-
lease the clear, sweet tones in brilliant volume.
It is simple and easy.
You can, in a word, do anything that you could
do if you played by hand. This is true of the Gulbran-
sen alone—the only piano of its kind in the world.
Only the Gulbransen has the special patented
construction—the Registering feature—which reg-
isters exactly your individual touch. Ordinary roll-
played pianos lack this feature. The Gulbransen
Registering Piano, having it, is responsive, per-
sonal, human. It givesyou all the enjoyment of hand
playing. Its music cannot be told from hand playing.
GULBRANSEN
That is why the Gulbrarfsen is the largest selling
piano in America today. Thousands of pianists,
recognizing its superb quality, own it and play it
both by hand and by roll.
As a straight piano, for hand playing, the Gul-
bransen is an instrument of the highest rank. As a Reg-
istering Piano, the Gulbransen plays all music rolls.
Why deny yourself longer the deepest enjoy-
ment, the finest influence, that money can bring to
your home? Children grow up quickly—now is the
time to make their home life something that will
always be a wonderful memory for them.
The National Association of Piano Tuners rec-
ommends that all pianos be tuned from two to jour
times a year—your Gulbransen deserves this care.

ing, and the joy of your own creative expression.
