French & Sons’ Player Pianos 
Art Products of a High Degree of Excellence 
and Exceeding Good Value 
With wealth of tone and unequaled construction, the French & Sons’ 
Player Piano places at your finger-tips the complete technique of 
piano-playing—ability to sound correctly the notes of the most difficult 
composition — to play loud or soft — fast or slow — staccato or legato—■ 
to “bring out” the melody and 
subdue the accompaniment. 
Any musical effect is pos¬ 
sible with this player. 
As a hand-played instru¬ 
ment, not the faintest trace of 
mechanism is noticeable—-it is 
superb. As a player the 
French is incomparable. It 
has many automatic devices 
not possessed by other players. 
One touch of the hand changes 
it from a player to a hand 
instrument and vice versa, 
locking the keys and bringing 
the pedals into position — all 
automatically and accom¬ 
plished in an instant. 
The Automatic Music Roll 
Adjustor forces the roll to 
track properly over the bar, 
insuring absolutely perfect rendition. The pneumatic self-clean¬ 
ing device on the ti acker-bar is another exclusive point of 
excellence. A great many other desirable features, exclusive to the 
French & Sons’ Player-Piano, are described and demonstrated fully in 
our beautiful illustrated Booklet, sent free to any address. Do not 
decide on any piano before you have this booklet. It is our 
business to please you. Write to-day to
