It’s All in the Bellows The pianist produces his effects upon the piano by means of muscular force, exerted by his fingers, trained by long years of persistent practice. In the piano player, air takes the place of muscle; that is, the mechanical fingers of the piano player are actuated by air. The bellows, which furnishes the motive power, must be exceedingly sensitive, so that the force of each stroke of the mechanical fingers upon the piano keys can be perfectly regu- lated by the pressure of the feet upon the pedals. The bellows must provide the performer at all times with a reserve power, which will enable him to accent a note; to swing instantly from the softest pianissimo to the heaviest fortissimo or vice versa, and which will permit these things to be accomplished with the least possible effort. It is because the patented bellows construction in the Cecilian Piano Player makes it pos- sible for the performer to do these things surely, and easily, at all times, that the Cecilian is to- day far superior to any other piano player on the market. Inside of the big operating bellows of the Cecilian is a small bellows with a narrow, contracted outlet. When the pedals are worked, both parts of this compound bellows are immediately put into action. As the air with which the smaller bellows is filled must escape into the larger bellows, you will readily see that the large bellows must first be exhausted before the small bellows comes into play. The small bellows thus provides a reserve force, which continues to operate the mechan- ical fingers of the player without any loss of power, after the force of the big bellows has been exhausted. This peculiar and patented bellows construction in the Cecilian gives the performer the utmost freedom for individual expression and enables him to produce the most delicate effects in tone coloring, with -an absolutely non-mechanical touch, and also makes it possible for a woman to operate the Cecilian without fatigue. The Cecilian can be attached to any piano, and with it, any one can play any music, without previous experience or musical knowledge. The price is $250.00. Easy payments if desired.
