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 proportions. 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. DR.
