SONORA TONE
IS A REVELATION IN SOUND REPRODUCTION
The phonograph art is a search for tone, for the magic touch of great music. The
key is found in the SONORA. TONE IS THE SUPREME QUALITY OF THE SONORA
INSTRUMENT. *********
In the SONORA more than a mechanism has been perfected. The human touch has
been preserved. The whole effort of. the SONORA builders has been to retain and
to develop tone qualities.
But the only test is the ear. Hear any other phonograph. Then hear the SONORA.
You will find it a revelation. In a moment you will understand all we have been claiming
for this marvelous instrument.
