The lessons are absolutely free; the pupil pays the school merely a nominal sum to defray the cost of stationary used in the examinations, extra music, postage, studies, etc., which we guarantee not to exceed 12}4 cents per lesson, payable $1.00 every two months. The cost of the actual instruction is charged to us, and you are at liberty to discontinue the payments and lessons at any time.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced player, this course of lessons will be invaluable to you. It covers the subject of playing your instrument from the very beginning, including the rudiments of music, reading by note, technic, tone-production and expression. We are always on the lookout for opportunities to give our customers the very best value for their mone)'. We have for some time given an instruction book with every instrument we sell, but we have something better to offer now. An instruction book is valuable as far as it goes, but it is greatly to your advantage to take a thorough course of lessons upon the instrument which you buy, under the personal direction of a great teacher, who can help you to learn to play correctly and well. We have succeeded in arranging this for you. The Siegel-Myers School will give you, as a customer of ours, free instruction on the instrument you buy. When difficulties arise, these teachers will be glad to send you helpful suggestions as to the best methods of overcoming them; so we advise every one of our customers to avail themselves of this privilege which we have obtained for them.

THE RUDLOPH WURUTZBR CO., CINCINNATI, O. THE WURLITZER ORCHESTRAL HARP The Wurlitzer Orchestral Harp combines the strongest features of the best European instruments with a number of improvements which modern skill and research have made possible. Although the harp is the oldest of musical instruments, many years passed before any decided improvements were made in its construction. This was largely because the manufacture of the harp has been con fined principally to private makers, or to manufacturers who produced the instrument on a small scale only, and these did not have the time or means to devote to the experimental work necessary for improvement. We entered the harp field bfecause we were convinced that the harp was regaining much of its olden time prestige and realized that there would be a worldwide demand for a harp that would embody progressive modern ideas and surpass the old style instruments, as the modern piano of today eclipses that of several generations past. We have been entirely successful in producing the most artistic harp the world has ever seen. In doing so we have followed the general plan of the immortal Errard, with such changes and improvements as experience and modern methods make possible. These are fully described and illus trated in the latest edition of our beautiful Art Catalog on the harp, which is mailed free upon request. How We Reduced the Cost of the Harp It was conceded some years ago upon the widespread revival of interest small scale and turned out a few harps only. Therefore, we went into the in the harp, that the only obstacle in the way of the instrument's enjoying harp business on a large scale, selling at wholesale and retail through our popularity that would rival that of the piano was its price. It was considered system of warerooms located at Cincinnati, Chicago and New York. With high for the average purchaser, although it was strictly in proportion to our increased production has come a decrease in the manufacturing cost, the cost of its production. which has enabled us to offer the Wurlitzer Orchestral Harp at a much The reason for this was that harp manufacturers operated on „ very lower price than that of any other first-class harp. Wurlitzer Improvements and Special Features We give below brief mention of improvements and special features of the Wurlitzer Orchestral Harp. These are fully described and illustrated in cfur new harp catalog. The Solid Column: An exclusive Wurlitzer improvement, which pro vides a separate groove or runway for each pedal rod, an immense advantage over the hollow column, having the pedal rods massed in the center, causing them to rub, wear and bind. The Improved Fork Disc: .A highly improved disc with sharping and flatting fingers, combined with a cone and pivot-bearing spindle, wh'ch cannot work loose or cause a. rattle. The Double Re-enforced Base: An improvement which effectually prevents a breakage at the point where the body of the harp meets the harp column. An Improved Pedal Box: A tongue-and-groove fastening aiyrangement between the pedal box and base, which holds the pedal box in true position so as to prevent the warping of either the pedal box or the base. Easy to Regulate: The opening on the bottom of our harp is twice as large as on other harps, so that it can be regulated simply by turning the harp up-side down, while otherwise it is necessary to take the pedal box off. Improved Method of Stringing: Troublesome bridge pins are done away with, a new plan being introduced whereby the harp strings are in serted through celluloid eyelets. Swell D«ors Discarded: Old fashioned swell dour-, for regulating the tone volume are discarded, and a much more practical and successful metbru! utilized. Adjustable String Nuts: .All string nuts are made adjustable. If through climatic conditions any string should be out of tune, same may be lengthened if too sharp or shortened if too flat, simply by loosening the string nuts. Interchangeable Repair Parts: All mechanical parts are interchange able and an exact duplicate may be had by writing us. All screws are right- hand standard thread, and can be secured from any local hardware dealer. Double Action Only: The Wurlitzer Orchestral Harp is made in double action only. Light Weight: The Wurlitzer Orchestral Harp is from 15 to :!0 lbs. lighter than other harps; a very great advantage in carrying it around. The above is only ^ brief outline of some of the special improvements exhibited in the Wurlitzer Orchestral Harp. .Anyone, who is interested in the harp question, should write for a copy of our new -\rt Catalog on the Harp. Second=hand Harps: We are constantly receiving second-hand foreign- made harps (both single and double action) in exchange toward new Wur litzer Harps. We offer these for sale at very low prices, representing only the amount allowed in trade with actual cost of repairs added. The list of second-hand stock is changing constantly and it is advisable to write us for the latest revised list.
