The Music Trade Review
OCTOBER 22, 1927
TO THE MAN WHO SAYS / ,
We cannot afford a piano for our children
MR. DEALER: Has this situ-
ation ever happened to you?
Now you have a way to meet
it — with MILTON
"Tom
Thumb" Pianos.
W
ISE parents know the
value of a musical
education for their children.
Mothers and fathers realize that
nothing can ever take the place
of a piano in the home.
So, to the man who says,
"We cannot afford a piano for
our children," the logical an-
swer is "You cannot afford not
to have a piano for your boy
or girl, especially since the de-
velopment of the new MILTON
'Tom Thumb' Piano!"
The "Tom Thumb" models are a group
of small, compact, colorful little uprights
. . . only 40/4 inches high . . . yet possess-
ing the volume and tonal excellence of
larger, more expensive instruments.
Weighing but 230 pounds, these pianos
may be carried upstairs and down, from
place to place, with no hoisting or remov-
ing of doors or windows.
For Children
Especially
To the child especially is the "Tom
Thumb" particularly dedicated. At this tiny
instrument even a five-year-old boy or girl
can sit with comfort . . . little feet resting
squarely at the pedals, chubby hands easily
reaching the entire keyboard. Pleasing
both to eye and ear, the MILTON "Tom
Thumb" invites the musical training it is
so wise to start at the formative age.
An All-Purpose
Piano
In the nursery or library, for the summer
home or at school, "Tom Thumb" is the
ideal piano. A variety of bright color com-
binations and gay decorative treatments
assure an instrument that will look and
play harmoniously in any surroundings.
With the advent of the various plans
of simplified methods of piano instruc-
tion, now in vogue in many cities, it is
quite possible for the average child to
quickly master simple pieces and actually
play real music upon a "Tom Thumb"
Here are a few of the exquisite
tittle "Tom Thumbs"
inside of thirty days' time. Contrast this
with the old tedious sessions of Yester-
year, when a full twelve months of arduous
practice at a stiff, uninviting piano was
necessary before even the slightest progress
could be noted.
You men who think you cannot afford,
or do not want, a piano for your children—
just see the Milton "Tom Thumb" instruments!
