Year after year we have been perfecting this combination, so that we can now offer the ideal instrument—the anceLus and an excellent piano in one compact and elegant case, which is no larger and looks practically the same as an ordinary piano. This instrument can be played in the usual manner by the key-board or by the perforated music rolls, so that every- one can play this piano, whether musically edu- cated or not. The combination instruments— KNABE-ANGELUS and ANGELUS PIANO —which we present to the public are the results of our years of experience and success. The interior ANCELUS is constructed essentially the same as the cabinet form of ANGELUS, so well and favorably known throughout the world since 1897. It has the same simple and convenient Melody Buttons and the celebrated Phrasing Lever.
