But experience brought htful surp With three devices, the PHRASING LEVER mastering time, the Melody Buttons—giving the subtleties of ex- pression, the Diaphragm Pneumatics—controlling power and the delicacy of human touch—all the final touches of musical grace are supremely under your own contrcl. Yet these three devices are exclusive with the ANC Ss. Thus with the ANGELUS it scems as though the barrier—the something between you and the soul of the music itself—had been swept away, and you were permitted to enter fully into its perfect harmonies and melodies with sympathy of feeling.

If you would only try THE ANGELUS we would not need to tell you this story again. Descriptive literature upon request. Purchased by Royalty and the World’s Greatest Musicians. THE WILCOX & WHITE CO.
