At least this was true six years ago. Nowadays there is one exception—the art of piano-playing. Nowadays you can immediately become a perfect musician, you can hold the key to the world’s music, you can play the finest compositions as they have actually been played by the greatest living artistes. THE METROSTYLE PIANOLA ALONE gives you the power of playing music as famous living musicians HAVE ACTUALLY PLAYED IT. THE METROSTYLE PIANOLA is probably one of the greatest inventions the world has ever seen; certainly never before has it been possible to provide anyone with a gift such as musicianship. Does it not seem almost incredible that a comparatively small sum of money can at once make you a perfect master of music, can make you what in all probability you could never LEARN to be, however much you tried? Over 15,000 compositions form your repertoire as soon as you obtain a Pianola. Practically every living musician has endorsed the Pianola, and in face of this fact it is difficult to believe that anyone can be content to own a piano without also owning a Pianola, You are invited to call, and in any case do not omit to write for Catalogue R.
