SCIENTIFIC MONTHLY COMMENTS
ON BRAMBACH TONE EXPANDER
It Has Always Been One of the Selling Features
of Brambach Baby Grand.
One of the foremost scientific monthly magazines
has recently made a favorable comment on an ex-
clusive Brambach feature—the tone expander.
The magazine describes this feature as follows:
"A baby grand piano with a tone volume equal
to that of a parlor grand is the result of a novelty
in construction now practiced by a well-known man-
ufacturer. The improvement is as simple as it is
effective, consisting solely of fifteen oblong apertures

bored in the vertical cross pieces that support the
sounding board in front and rear. These slots per-
mit air from beneath the sounding board to respond
to the vibrations of the latter and to reinforce those
from above. Thus this lower air mass, customarily
confined and deadened, is able to expand the tonal
effect to an increased and unexpected volume, depth
and quality."
The Brambach tone expander has always been
one of the selling features of the Brambach baby
grand piano. As described above, due to this method
of construction, increased volume is. obtained by
permitting the sound underneath the sounding
board to unite with the sound waves which gen-
erally arise from the strings.
