﻿THE 
  OLDEST 
  AND 
  MOST 
  SUCCESSFUL 
  MAKERS 
  

   OF 
  PIANO-PLAYING 
  DEVICES 
  ANNOUNCE 
  THE 
  

  

  MELODANT 
  

  

  A 
  NEW 
  AND 
  EXCLUSD7E 
  FEATURE 
  OF 
  THE 
  

  

  ANGELUS 
  

  

  In 
  every 
  composition 
  there 
  runs 
  a 
  vein 
  of 
  melody 
  commonly 
  called 
  

   the 
  "air," 
  frequently 
  lying 
  wholly 
  in 
  the 
  treble, 
  sometimes 
  inter- 
  

   woven 
  with 
  the 
  accompaniment 
  or 
  wholly 
  covered 
  by 
  ornamentation. 
  

  

  The 
  function 
  of 
  the 
  MELODANT 
  is 
  to 
  automatically 
  

   pick 
  out 
  and 
  accent 
  the 
  melody 
  notes, 
  even 
  when 
  

   such 
  note 
  or 
  notes 
  appear 
  in 
  the 
  midst 
  of 
  a 
  full 
  

   chord, 
  giving 
  to 
  each 
  its 
  proper 
  value 
  as 
  previously 
  

   determined 
  in 
  an 
  authentic 
  interpretation. 
  

  

  This 
  most 
  desirable 
  and 
  long-sought-f 
  or 
  effect 
  is 
  obtained 
  in 
  the 
  

   MELODANT 
  ANGELUS 
  by 
  the 
  performer 
  simply 
  using 
  the 
  pedals 
  

   in 
  the 
  ordinary 
  manner. 
  Thus 
  with 
  an 
  ANGELUS 
  equipped 
  with 
  the 
  

   MELODANT 
  the 
  performer 
  has 
  at 
  his 
  command 
  two 
  methods 
  of 
  

   accentuation. 
  

  

  He 
  can 
  accent 
  either, 
  automatically 
  by 
  means 
  of 
  the 
  

   MELODANT, 
  or 
  by 
  his 
  own 
  manipulation 
  of 
  the 
  

   Melody 
  Buttons, 
  which 
  have 
  been 
  and 
  which 
  still 
  are 
  

   one 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  valuable 
  features 
  of 
  the 
  ANGELUS. 
  

   NO 
  OTHER 
  PIANO-PLAYER 
  CAN 
  OFFER 
  SO 
  MUCH 
  

  

  The 
  addition 
  of 
  the 
  MELODANT 
  does 
  not 
  impair 
  the 
  efficiency 
  

   nor 
  detract 
  from 
  the 
  value 
  of 
  the 
  simple 
  yet 
  complete 
  expression 
  

   devices 
  also 
  found 
  upon 
  the 
  ANGELUS. 
  These 
  will 
  still 
  be 
  the 
  

   means 
  for 
  individual 
  interpretation 
  which 
  to 
  many 
  persons 
  constitutes 
  

   the 
  chief 
  and 
  unrivaled 
  charm 
  of 
  our 
  instrument. 
  The 
  ANGELUS 
  

   is 
  absolutely 
  the 
  only 
  piano-player 
  with 
  whose 
  aid 
  the 
  best 
  artistic 
  

   results 
  can 
  be 
  obtained.

  The 
  introduction 
  of 
  the 
  MELODANT 
  is 
  another 
  step 
  forward 
  in 
  the 
  steady 
  

   progress 
  of 
  the 
  ANGELUS, 
  which 
  has 
  been 
  continuously 
  developed 
  from 
  the 
  pioneer 
  

   piano-player 
  — 
  brought 
  out 
  in 
  1895 
  — 
  to

  truly 
  wonderful

  of 
  to-day.
