A TREAT FOR MUSIC LOVERS

The knight Campbell Music COM
pany of Denver have shipment Of
instruments at the A. Hahn store,
in charge of Mr.. p. ]. TREY, who is
demonstrating them. One of the in
struments is what is known as an
Artapollo, another is an Apollophone.
The Artapollo is motor driven play
er-piano, and it is the last word in
its sort of instrument. Every refine
ment that can be imagined has been
added, automatic cut offs, tone shad-
ers, hesitators, it does everything
the most accomplished artist could
do, except make mistakes, and it
seems so darned human that it al
most makes them. 1t is such instru
ments as this that Is certainly killing
the prejudice of professional musici-
ians against mechanical players.
The Apollophone is the same as
the Artapollo except that it is not
motor driven, and has a phonograph
attachment.
Mr.. TREY can certainly make eth
er of them eat out of his hand, and
says that anybody else can do the
same.
The company manufacturing these
machines offers a reward for any
suggestions for improvements. A
emi-occasional mistake maker is the
only thing we could suggest. Drop in
and hear them.
