positions, just the same as they now teach hand playing.
 Not that the player piano is at all difficult to play, for 1t is not-anyone can play it at once-but there will al- ways be the desire for perfection, for fuller mastery of the instrument, on the part of large number of people, who, in ten lessons, can learn more than the average piano student does in hundred.
 What we are constantly striving to do is to awaken people to the musi- cal possibilities of the Gulbransen and to the simplicity and value of our instruction Rolls, which constitute short course in correct playing by roll.
 It is our aim to have the Gulbran sen considered from this serious angle, rather than an instrument in which one should be content to place any roll that happens to be at hand, and pedal 1t through.
 "It Is what you can do with the -musically-thatm makes it appeal to you You are in direct control-in intimate contact-with the music. You are the musician, not a listener"
 Mir. Gulbransen paused. Did you ever hear one of our Instruction Rolls?" he asked suddenly.
 I admitted I had not.
 He made me sit down before his White House Model and play Roll Number One. In few minutes l was accentng melody and harmony notes I was learning that there is real science and fun in proper play ing of a player piano, at least a Gulbransen.

AN INTERVIEW WITH
 MIR. CULBRANSEN

 And here was-fortunate enough to find this master-creator in just the right mood-just the righ at hosphere-in fact, at that very mo- ment playing roll on his finest handwork-a White House Model Gulbransen.
 Of the mission of the Gulbransen Player Piano, MT. Gulbransen spoke freely He is full of it, sincere. and speaks with conviction born of long experience and observation. He was uncommunicatiye. however, on his own early struggles for the develop ment and acceptance of a new idea in player pianos. or the growth of his business from one of few thousand dollars capital to a two- million dollar institution.
 In other words, MT Gulbransen, !, like other big men, k entirely too modest to satisfy the humble repor- ter's ideas of what constitutes a really first hand story of achieve ment,
 The great mass of people have not the time. inclination. financial means or ability to learn to play the piano by hand" said MT Gulbran- sen. That makes the player piano the logical instrument for self-ex- pression Of ones musical ideas.
