What is a piano player for—to busy your brain and tire your body or to soothe you and rest you with music? There are, you "now, only two kinds of piano players. One kind makes yuu work—and work hard. The other kind lets you play while it plays. If you stop to think, which kind do you fancy will be the greater comfort in your home? Which appeals to you more—the player that has to be “pumped”” with you: feet, and that requires constant attention and effort, or the kind that sits daintily on a stand, out of the way of the piano and that calls on you for only the gentle pressure of your hands? The kind that requires all the work is the kind that plays by means of air. The other kind, the restful kind that leaves you free to enjoy yourself and the music, is THE TEL-ELECTRIC—“The Perfected Piano Player.” It is the only one of its Bind. And it is the one that makes any piano more pliable, more obedient, and more responsive to your will than any other player, The expression devices on THE TEL- ELECTRIC are beyond Satabadibea! We shall regard it as a privilege to prove these things to you if you will call any day soon and permit us to do so, Will you? Catalogue on application.
