  • Columbia Viva-Tonal Grafonola 112 

    MAKE this astonishing test for yourself. Ask your gramophone dealer to play a familiar record on any other gramophone and then on the 1927 Viva-Tonal. Hear the thrilling difference! New notes leap into being --shrill piccolo and deep bass notes that lie in the record, but which no other gramophone has yet revealed. Gorgeous tone, clear as crystal and sweet as a bell; rich, ample volume, unmuffled and undistorted, manifested for the first time.

    The new Viva-Tonal Portable carries eight 10-inch records in the lid, and has the winding crank conveniently in front. Fitted with new tone chamber and latest Columbia No. 8 sound-box.
