Easy to Play

Easy to Play
First. it is physically easy to play. Our baby
trademark was suggested by certain baby
who did play Gulbransen-just as shown in
the picture.
Second you can play the Gulbransen with
satisfying expression, because you produce the
expression as naturally as you breathe, and as
easily.
The Gulbransen, in operation is like deep
breathing, well-trained singer compared to the
"out-of-breath. gasping beginner.
In fact. you can Judge any player-piano like
a singer-by the "out-of-breath' test

Try This Breath" Test

Play heavily scored piece on the Gulbran-
sen. pedaling with only one foot. Try to pedal
slowly.
With most any player-piano this is tiresome.
But the Gulbransen is easy to manage with one
pedal 1t is never out of breath"
Using both pedals, you need scarce move
them to play the Gulbransen softly. And
great crashing chord requires but an extra
touch.
This easy breathing of the Culbransen is
what makes it truly satisfying musical In
strument-as flexible as a trained singers
voice-as easily controlled.
Try this one-pedal breath test at the
Arthur Jordan Piano Co. You will know the
store by the baby at the pedals in the window.

Play Her Accompaniment
Xourself---on the Gulbransen

If she" sings. you know how poorly
played accompaniment handicaps her-how
well-played one helps.
There are, we believe, hundred singers
of real ability to every one who has the oppor-
tunity to develop.
Because so few singers have the support
of well-played accompaniments- as you
can play for her on the Gulbransen.

From that you can imagine the artistic stand
