The new Wurlitzer & Sons grand
pianos have a superb quality of tone
made possible by the incorporation of
the calibrated element between the bridge and
the resonator. This innovation in sounding board
construction is an exclusive feature in Wurlitzer & Sons
pianos and is protected by numerous patent applications.
The discovery of the calibrated element permits the manufacture
of a moderate sized grand piano possessing a quality of tone
heretofore thought impossible in an instrument of compact pro-
portions. Wurlitzer has purchased the sole rights for the use of this
advanced type of sounding board construction. Wurlitzer & Sons grand
pianos are the only pianos permitted to use this unique principle of correct
utilization and distribution of the vibration created by the string. These
new instruments are an outstanding advancement in the production of pure
piano tone. Trained musicians will readily recognize the new Wurlitzer & Sons grand
pianos as a praiseworthy achievement in the development of the piano builders' art.

PRESTO-TIMES
Nov.-Dec., 1933
Experience shows that with the GULBRANSEN the
profitable outcome of piano operations can quite readily
be forecasted.
There is far more than a common or ordinary amount of
class built into every present-day Gulbransen.
You can notice it in the graceful method of designing;
the appropriate type of equipment; the fine cabinet
work; the choice veneers and the mirror-like attractive-
ness of the full-bodied Duco finish, hand-rubbed to a
satin smoothness.
You can notice it, too, in the solidity in which the Gul-
bransen is tuned; the carefully regulated action; the
sympathetic feel of Gulbransen touch and the free vibra-
tion of Gulbransen tone.
However, it is more than eye-value and ear-value which
favors the Gulbransen; it is equally those indwelling
factors of character, of lasting quality and of full value
which inspire confidence; the first-name, first-grade
piano of a currently responsible, active and conscientious
organization presided over by the founder and President
of the institution.
Neither available stock nor Gulbransen territorial
policies will permit all dealers to handle the Gulbransen,
but if you conduct accredited piano activities, investiga-
toin is solicited.
