Made of solid
mahogany with cut out ornament and carved ornamental edge.
Behind the ornament is a lattice of vertically stretched
wires. The back of the speaker cone is covered with
pieces of bamboo, and a metal wire spirals from the
centre to the periphery of the cone. Behind the cone, a
folded cardboard strip with rectangular slots is
attached to the outer edge. All these measures provide a
significant reduction of resonance and a good bass
reproduction.
