FRENCH & SONS 
PLAYER PIANOS 
Art Products of high quality and exceeding good value 
O NE touch changes it from a hand-played piano 
to a player piano. By pulling forward a little 
drawer under the keyboard the devices for 
personal musical expression are brought into oper¬ 
ation, the keys are automatically locked, lower panel 
opens and the pedals swing out into position. A 
great improvement over instruments in which all 
these operations are performed separately, often 
necessitating stooping to adjust the pedals. 
As a player, the French & Sons is incomparably superior to any other. As a hand-played 
instrument, it betrays not the faintest trace of mechanism — it is superb. Other desirable 
features are the Automatic Music Tracking Device — Automatic Sustaining Pedal Device — 
the Compound Motor, which reduces friction so per cent. — Pneumatic Self-Cleaning Device 
on trackerbar — and many other interesting points demonstrated in our beautiful Illustrated 
Booklet — sent free on request. 
French & Sons’ Player Pianos are welcomed with the cordiality of old friendship by music 
lovers in the most refined and cultured homes in America. Before deciding upon any piano 
or player, send for our catalogs — they are free for the asking. Write today to
