Greene : fines, or salary ?— It's easy | THE ANGELUS Is The Only Player Expressing Human Feeling TRIKE a single key on your piano, again, then harder, then softer, see how many different degrees of intensity you can produce. That is human touch. The Angelus felt-covered fingers, which strike notes for you, repro- duce just the touch you want—they cannot act independently. Each finger is controlled by a pneumatic (not bellows) which gives you all the power, delicacy, flexibility or elasticity of touch procurable with your own finger. The Phrasing Lever, the great exclusive feature of the Angelus, insures absolute control of the time and phrasing of your playing. “The Human Touch of THE ANGELUS” is just the human touch of the human being employing it to express his or her interpretation, sympathy and feeling for the composer’s music suiting the desired intensity to every single note and the instant change in time or shading to every bar of the music. The Angelus translates glorious melodies and harmomes as words do thoughts or pictures do scenes. Send for illustrated booklet. Purchased by Royalty and the world’s greatest musicians.
