A huge dead tree is fallen, uprooted, in front of it. Full silvery sunlight etches the tree, its roots and the moss plumes hanging from an upright branch.

While the Piano Master requires a specially built piano, a modification, the Key Master, may be fitted to any old family upright. The Key Master flashes lights in a dummy keyboard above the keys. So highly does Chicago's Story & Clark Piano Co. regard the Piano Master that they have already manufactured twelve flashlight pianos...
