Hundreds of prominent executives have found in the Duo Art Reproducing Piano an extraordinary road to relaxa- tion after a hard day’s work. They simply press a button, and there is Paderewski playing that beautiful minuet of his, or Josef Hofmann playing some favorite composition of Chopin, or Beethoven, or Liszt. And Hofmann really plays it. Every shade of expression, every precious per- sonal mannerism of his, is there. Not one man in a thousand can tell the dif- ference!
