Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1908-05-10

A week ago we announced that we
would sell 30 Kurtzmann Player
Pianos at $65O.0o each-the regular
$4,000 instrument. We also announced
that with each instrument sold $4,000
worth of music rolls would be given
absolutely free. This offer has met
with the success 1t deserved-we have
sold enough of the instruments to con-
vince us that the offer will be with
drawn in a few days. We will not sell
more than 80 Kurtzmann Player Pianos
at this price-so' we urge prospective
buyers to be on hand tomorrow In or
der to secure the few remaining instru-
ments.
The Kurtzmann Player Piano is the
result OF popular demand. If the
Kurtzmann company had not made
their regular uprights and grand pianos
SO well during the past IS years there
would be no demand for the Kurtz-
mann Player Piano. But people who
know the Kurtzmann> quality have
used the Kurtzmann product for years;
now, when they want a regular upright
piano with the inside player attach
ment, demand an instrument made by
the Kurtzman Piano company.
In response to this demand the Kurtz-
mann Piano company has produced an
standard of their other products. The
instrument combines many exclusive
and original features not found in
other player pianos. The piano itself
is the very best upright made by the
Kurtzmann people-the player is a
marvel of mechanical ingenuity.
q, II you are not already acquainted
with the player piano, read further,
and you will gain some idsa of its
adaptability for> use in every home
where reside people who are educated
musicians and those who are not.
The Kurtzmann Player Piano is an
upright piano-looks like the ordinary
upright in every respect. 1t can be
played in the ordinary way with the
hands at the keyboard. and the tone,
action and touch leave nothing to be
desired
But 1t takes an accomplished. edu-
Gated musician to play the piano at
the keyboard-a person who knows
nothing of the theory of music cannot
play it that way.
But here is where the self-playing
device inside the case comes into evil
dence. This wonderful mechanism
takes the place of the fingers-takes
the place of a musical education, of
a theoretical knowledge of the art, 1t
lows the person who Is operating 1t to
put his own interpretation into the
piece being played. This mechanical
device enables the untutored in music
to forego the drudgery Of the studio
and yet become at a moments notice
an accomplished pianist.
The operation of this self-playing
device is simple. Take one OF the per-
forated music rolls, place 1t in posi-
ton and pump-a child can do 1t easily.
In order to get the full enjoyment
out of the Kurtzmann Player Piano
you must have large supply of these
perforated music rolls. That is why
this offer of ours Is an extraordinary
one. We give you enough music rolls
100 or more-so that you get the full
enjoyment out of the instrument at
once.
If we have not explained the prin-
ciple of the Kurtzmann Player Piano
thoroughly we ask you to visit the
store tomorrow and have one of our
statesmen show you its operation-fve
minutes there would do more than
could ten pages of reading matter to
show you that the Kurtzmann Player
Piano is the instrument for your home.
Here is the proposition again: A
$4,000 Kurtzmann Player Piano for
$3.50. 00--$100.00 worth of music rolls alb
solutely free.
II YOU have an ordinary upright or
grand piano in your hofhe--a piano
that is not played because no one
knows how to play tive will take 1t
in part payment on one of these Kurtz-
mann Player Pianos-the kind every
one can play. And we will grant easy
terms Of : payment to any one 50 de-
string.
Come in tomorrow and get one OF the
first 80 Kurtzmann Player Pianos Of
fered-take advantage Of this great
money saving.
