A life time of study and practice has enabled the great artists to play at their best, less than 100 pieces. The Inner-Player places at your command any com position ever written. You can play Opera, Sacred, Classical Music, or rag-time-any kind, any piece at once, without study or without practice, on the Inner-Player, and you can play as well as the experienced Pianists who have studied and worked for years to master a few pieces. If you have a Piano we can take it in exchange. Balance can be paid in monthly installments. Everything known in Music. Cable B10i, J.V. WALLACE, Manager, Charleston, S. C. I I.
