owe DO not hesitate and can not hesitate to say
that the Pianoa must inevitably revolutonlze the
whole pianiStiC situation.
"It will, in the first place, make the piano
much more interesting instrument, and make 1t &C
ceptable TO hundreds Of thousands of people who
can not use it to-day.
alt will enlarge and amplify its scope, making 1t
a more artistic instrument by extending its use to

"As it does not affect the piano in the least,
merely coming in contact with it as player does,
by touching thc keyboard and pedals it can be utll-
lied in all parts of the world on all present pianos,
without in the least requiring any alterations.
"Its practical utility is therefore at once assured.
