Rhythmic Beat of a Gaucho Dance —When Phantom Fingers Play

Mason & Risch, London (Ontario) · Ad in "London Evening Advertiser" and "The Free Press", December 10, 1924

A woman in a flounced, patterned dress dancing with a fan, guitar players and dancers behind her; at the right a grand piano projecting beyond the frame of the picture Rhythmic Beat of a Gaucho Dance —When Phantom Fingers Play WATCH the keys of your piano moving, though no one sits before it! With every move comes forth the pulsating rhythm of a colorful tango—beautiful melody, strongly accented, native of the vast pampas south of the Amazon. So strongly suggestive is the music, you see the bronzed Gaucho and his gorgeous belle gracefully dancing. But who is playing with such wonderful finesse? It is one of the great artists of the pianoforte, whose playing actually produced the movement of the keys just as you see them. The Mason & Risch Welte-Mignon has wrought this miracle. It has put at your command the genius of all the famous concert pianists. Your choice of any selection through the whole range of musical composition will be perfectly rendered by your favorite pianist just as if he favored you personally. We will gladly have the Masters play your favorite selections for you any time you visit our show rooms. Two hands playing a piano keyboard, emerging from a dark vignette These are the Phantom Hands of a thousand immortal pianists, their genius preserved forever through the miracle of Welte-Mignon reproduc- tion. 248 DUNDAS STREET, LONDON. 248 DUNDAS STREET LONDON Framed panel: a faun playing pan-pipes MASON & RISCH Welte-Mignon REPRODUCING PIANO Framed panel: a faun playing pan-pipes
