Music Box Amplification

 

Music Box Amp Demo Picture

  • Demonstrate principles of sound amplification

  • Music Box is normally very quiet, and barely audible in a large lecture hall. But when the music box is pressed firmly against a solid, rigid object- like a table top or a blackboard-it becomes very audible. Press against the body of an acustic guitar for even larger amplification.
