Every one who cares anything
for music enjoys hearing the piano
well played. The possession of the
Duo-Art Piano means the privi-
lege of listening at will to the
actual playing of Paderewski,
Holman, Gabrilowitsch, Bauer,
Granger, GAM and score of
other great pianists, as we'll as that
of the composers and best players
of popular and dance music.
There are two kinds of music
rolls for the Duo-Art Piano. One
is the regular Pianola roll, which
you play yourself, furnishing and

controlling the "expression."
The other is neqU roll which is
made by pianist playing upon a
remarkable "recording' piano.
And which when placed in the
Duo-Art repeats his playing srih
faultless and absolute fdehiy.
This question of the fidelity of
the Duo-Art's reproduction, is
the measure of its tremendous
value and significance. If it can re-
peat Paderewski's and Hofmann's
and other great artists playing,
it is simply invaluable as a means
for providing supreme entertain

ment and cultural influence. That
1t does SO repeat their playing is
established beyond question by
the testimony of these artists
themselves.
Paderewski says: II shaNbeglad
indeed 10 haze my playing reproduced

Hoffman, says: "These rolls cor
realty reproduce my phrasing, accent,

putting the ability to play within the reach of
every one.
The Duo-Art Piano goes one step farther
than the player piano. Just as that instrument
was piano and player combined, SO the
Duo-Art is player piano and reproducing
