  • Apparatus and methods for enhancing the sound of a musical instrument

    Abstract: The present invention provides apparatus and methods for enhancing the sound of musical instruments using an acoustically reflective element. In an example embodiment of the present invention, an acoustically reflective element is provided. This acoustically reflective element is adapted to be placed on the floor underneath a musical instrument such that sound waves from the musical instrument which strike the reflective element are reflected upward, thereby enhancing the sound of the musical instrument. A protective band may be provided around a perimeter of the reflective element. This protective band will prevent the edge of the reflective element from cutting the user or causing other damage.
