"SONGS OF OTHER YEARS" Painted by Leighton
Who plays these songs for you?
Annie Laurie The Last Rose of Summer Swanee River Loves Old Sweet Song Carry Me Back to Old Virginny
WHEN your mood says "Music!" and your memory turns back to the old songs - then, perhaps, is the time wwhen your Ampico can mean most to you. For, at the pressing of a button, a great artist's playing of your favorite music will stream from your own piano, filling with melody the quiet room where you sit.
Brailowsky, Dohnányi, Godowsky, Lhévinne, Ornstein, Rachmaninoff, Rosenthal, Schmitz - these and hundreds more are included in the brilliant company ofmasters who will express their art through your piano—if that piano be an Ampico. They will play for you the great music of the world—sonatas, nocturnes, fantasies and serenades; hymns, ballads and marches. Every gradation of volume, every phrase, every shading of tone is heard just as it was interpreted by the great artist who made the recording.
Only in fine pianos
The Ampico may be had in only the following pianos,which have been known for generations as instruments of quality: The Knabe, the Chickering, the Mason & Hamlin, the Fischer, the Haines Bros., the Marshall & Wendell, the Franklin, and in Canada the Willis also. Note that the Knabe, the Chickering, and the Mason & Hamlin are three of the four great pianos in general use on the American concert stage.
Yet the piano within whose case the Ampico lies concealed suffers no change in its structure. It is intact for playing by hand, for when the Ampico is not in use it does not touch the keys, the pedals, or even the strings.
Hear the Ampico today
Everyone is invited to hear the Ampico. Music Week (May 3-10) is a particularly appropriate time to go to a store where any of the pianos mentioned are sold and ask to hear the Ampico rendition of some of the old songs you love. You may discover musical treasures. If you have never heard the Ampico, you will feel that you have discovered a miracle.
Exchange your silent or player piano for an Ampico
The piano which you now own will entitle you to an allowance on the purchase of an Ampico. This allowance
and convenient terms of payment make owning an Ampico an ambition you may fulfill at once. Foot-power models $795. Electric power models $985 to $5000. With freight added. Uprights and grands.
A note to the address below will bring you a booklet describing the Ampico and its music.
