HE STARR LOUD SPEAKER is an
embodiment of scientific principles of proper
tone amplifying which have been incorporated
in all Starr musical instruments. It brings out the
melodies and voices of the air with perfect fidelity.
The horn is fashioned from Silver Gram Spruce
famous by music masters of all time. Carved to scien-
tific proportions the Starr Loud Speaker Horn hangs
free, suspended to perfect balance so the tone is full
and clear, unretarded and unmarred as it is developed
from the initial impulses originated by the artist through
the loud speaker unit. Thus every tone is delivered
in all purity and faithfulness of the original.
