REPRO-PHRASO
The Story & Clark
Repro-Pliraso is a player piano in which may be inserted any
88 note music roll and trace the melody throughout the
composition as your own mood dictates as though you were
playing with your hands on the keys. There is no suggestion
of the mechanical in the musical effects. The melody sings to
a softly subdued accompaniment. The same discretion in the
production of delicate expression is attained as if the
performer were expressing himself with the freedom of the
finger)touch upon the keys. Control of the composition is
perfect, and the musical interpretation such as can come only
after long practice and complete musical knowledge. Thus the
Repr-Phraso becomes the individual operational reproducing
piano, which permits of human control and of expression,
phrasing, accenting, melody playing and shading. This
instrument has won the approval of experts, and it is the
product of an old and absolutely responsible industry. It is
a favorite with piano merchants and the music)loving public.
Its special features are described in a booklet supplied by
either the dealers or the manufacturers. Story &
