OU have but to sit down before this
Sonata Grand and run through the
Jl entire scale of 88 notes to appreciate
what an opportunity this achievement opens
to you as a dealer.
All we might say about the Sonata could not
reveal as much of the "grand piano" quality
of its tone as a single hearing of its scale.
Here at last is a small grand with true grand
characteristics—not because we say it is, but
because it actually possesses the acoustical
basis of the accepted grand piano.
Beauty In Design
Although it is the smallest full scale grand
piano built, the Sonata Grand possesses a
rare beauty of design and a proportion
which makes it doubly desirable in homes
of refinement. In appearance as well as
tone it is a true grand piano. Remember
Straube builds a complete line—grands, re.
producing grands, upright pianos in stand,
ard and small sizes, and player pianos.
Specifications of Sonata (grand
Length 4 feet 4 inches; full 88 note scale.

Situated to best advantage in the living or music
room the Sonata model requires only a few inches
more floor space than an upright. Consider what
it means when, in addition to this space-saving
size, you can offer your prospect the tonal quality
of a much larger instrument!
To the unquestioned appeal of the grand piano
as a mark of distinction in the home the Sonata
model adds the appeal of true grand musical qual- + v ,
ity, which has not been available heretofore in ^ ^^.<
a size which meets modern living conditions. + &
Every dealer should know about the
Straube Sonata model first hand. Send cou-
pon now, or write for further informa- f
tion; learn how you can get a sample.
