Answering a
Question

pressed by what l have read
of the AMPICO"-said a
man the other day, but !
haven't a clear idea of just
WHY | am impressed. Per-
haps ! read the newspapers
too much with my eyes and
not with my mind. There is
SO much to think about these
days. But, please tell me
Just what is the AMPICO?'
The AMPICO is a part of a
pianoforte-found only IN
the CHICkERING, KNABE-
SCHUMACHER, M A r
SHALL & WENDELL and
STODDART pianos.
1t takes the place of the plan
ist-the Artistic pianist. With
the AMPICO installed in the
CHICKERING, for example, you
may hear Godowsky play when
ever and as often as you wish.
Or Ornstein. Or Buhlig. o.
Gabrilowitsch. Or any one OF a
hundred Of the, greatest living
pianists. A little later on you
will be able to hear Rachman-
inoff and Rubinstein.
On June 4, 1918. the Met
ropohtan Opera House or
chestra gave q recital IN
Carnegie Hall. The second
number on the program was
Rubinstein's Concerto in ID
minor. The first movement,
the Moderate assai, was
played by the AMPICO, a re.
production of the playing OF
Leo Ornstein. The second
and third movements were
played by Ornstein himself.
Critics and audience alike
marveled that there was no
difference in the playing.
This is how it is done;
Ornstein. say, plays Liszt's
"Liebestraum"-to name a mel
ody that is familiar in every
home. As he plays, his every
touch on the keys is electrically
recorded. SO sensitive is thi
recording mechanism that a
slight slur over the keys would
be recorded. He plays lightly
The record is light. He play
fortissimo. The record is for
tissimo. He plays in any one o.
half hundred gradations o.
tone. The record is exact, OF
each graduation.
THE RECORD IS ORN
STEIN.
Now the AMPICO take,
this record and reproduces il
on the strings of the CHICK
ERING and the oCher p ano,
named --- just d Ornstel1
did, with al his dazzling
technique, pedal effects thu
wonderful beauty OF hi,
dynamic effects, S exquisite
color tone.
THE REPRODUCTION
Is ORNSTEIN.
