New Style Primary and Secondary Pneumatics and Wind Chest-made all of Metal and in one piece. HE only pianopla er whose mechan- Ay ism ‘is made of metal instead of wood and leather In EVERY Piano-Player there are 65 primary and 65 secondary pneumatics, or bellows. (Sce illustrations at boftom of page.) These 130 pneumatics operate the wooden fingers which strike the keys of the piano. In all Piano-Players EXCEPT The CECILIAN these pneumatics are made of wood and leather, and the constant changes in the weather. from hot to cold, from wet to dry. etc., cause them sooner or later to split or leak, and then the Player must be repaired. Ask the man who owns one if this is not so. In the Cecilian Piano-Player the primary and secondary pneumatics, and also the wind chest, are built of stecl. brass and phosphor bronze, and consequently are never affected by atmospheric or climatic changes of any kind. and practically do | away with all necessity for repairs. Furthermore. the Metal Action of the Cecilian enables it to give a more perfect musical performance than anything heretofore accomplished by any Piano-Player. he Metal Action is now put into the Cecilian (cabinet) Piano-Player, the Sohmer-Cecilian, and the Farrand-Cecilian Pianos. : Full Particulars Sent on Request on stvLe Original London Sy TOUT y it with “oysters” of ‘rare. it’s the flavor needed (Pro- nounce it MEWKS.) | olold Overywheve 4 LUYTIES BROTHERS, Agents, N.
