Picture yourself playing, through the pedals, with the ^ouch" of a musician! Picture the keys being pressed down, as in hand playing! Pressed down, not knocked down! There's one of the secrets of Gulbransen superiority. It removes all suggestion of the mechanical and gives you real, intimate, personally- produced music, full of genuine expression. Because the Gulbransen is a Registering Piano, registering your exact touch and expression--because it is different^ from any player-piano you have ever known--because it is so remarkably easy to pedal--your first delight will develop into continued, year after year interest. You'll be a Gulbransen "fan"--youH be enthusiastic, entertaining,-and--mark this statement, proved by the experience of thousands of folks who have Gulbransens--you and your family will get more pleasure out of your Gulbransen than anything you now possess.
