EVER in history has so remarkable a concert been given. It was a wonderful exper-
ience, not matched in the memory of the oldest concert goers, to hear five great
pianists in one recital. But in addition, the playing of each of these pianistic giants was
immediately repeated by the Ampico—such direct comparison is the most exacting test it
is possible to devise—THE MOST ACUTE EAR, T H E MOST DISCERNING
MUSICAL I N T E L L I G E N C E COULD DETECT NO DIFFERENCE. T H E
TWO PERFORMANCES W E R E EXACTLY ALIKE.
The great audience heard five of the foremost living pianists—heard them [in person—and
heard them as posterity will hear and judge them.
As in all direct comparisons of this kind, the Ampico again proved its

T
H E Ampico's playing is the actual performance of the artist himself just as if his fin-
gers were touching the keys. True, it is secured through a different medium—the
music roll—but it is his actual performance nevertheless. A hundred or more pianists have
entrusted the preservation of their art to the Ampico. With this wonderful instrument,
music of all kinds is brought into the home—music made by the greatest makers of music
that the roster of public concert artists offers.
The Ampico is invariably chosen when beauty of tone
and exactness of reproduction are intelligently judged.
