It was not an economical day, i altho the folks of that time liked to think of it so, and some of us do call it that now. Rather was it a wasteful, inefficient time, albeit necessary, for without machinery and without invention there was no other way.

But the Duo-Art will also play any of the 88- note player rolls so popular for dancing. Just put on your favorite player music, touch the switch, and away everybody goes in the merry madness of a fox trot. But what a fox trot! For the instrument that plays it is the instrument of which Paderewski himself, in more exacting tasks, has exclaimed: “I shall be proud indeed to have my playing reproduced with such manifest fidelity.” Always, moreover, your Duo-Art is ready for playing from the keyboard, by hand.
