Abstract:
     The invention relates to a device (2) for influencing the sound of an upright piano, comprising a housing (5) which is provided with at least one sound hole (7) on the side facing the keyboard of the piano. At least one plate-shaped sound deflector (11, 20, 21, 22) is provided inside the housing (5), adjacent to the sound hole (7), acting as an impediment to the sound waves in the direction of the sound hole (7) and extending the path of the sound waves in the direction of the sound hole (7). A warmer sound, especially for the base tones, can be obtained from the piano by extending the sound path in such a manner. Preferably, the inventive device is embodied as an add-on device which can be post-fitted to a piano.
