Comments on the duo-art as a laboratory instrument

Abstract

The author, after making several tests on the duo-art pianola, concludes that it is suitable for use in experimental esthetics. "Its mechanism is so sensitive and so well constructed that it provides a means for supplying piano tones of any desired pitch, intensity, tempo, and phrasing, with errors in production which are beyond the capacity of the human ear to detect."
