Aeolian also had a very professional marketing strategy for its Pianola, similar to Hupfeld's for its Phonola in Europe. This advertising brochure contains a reference from Paderewski about the qualities of the Pianola, as well as information about the upright and grand pianos with built-in Pianolas available in Los Angeles from the dealer Geo. J. Birkel. We offer a PDF copy of this rare catalog (7 pages) for research and study for EUR 25.00.
