Rare Reverse Horn Gramophone 1908  HMV Victrola Replica

For years GRAMOPHONES brought joy and entertainment to the daily lives of people around the world. In their years of popularity gramophones became an integral part of our musical and cultural heritage. Today these are collected by antique lovers, widely used as decorative accessories for living rooms, studies and intimate hideaways, and given as treasured gifts. Let our collection of beautiful reproductions take you down memory lane. Bearing the beloved image of the hound with his ear turned to the brass trumpet speaker, this delightful antique record player will produce the most nostalgic music. It will sweep you back to a romantic old black and white movie... just turn the crank handle and you're Jeanette MacDonald!

Before you invest in a gramophone, make sure whether you are buying just a decor gramophone (also called a "crapophone") or one which will deliver authentic and crisp acoustics. These 12"x12"x10" reverse horn gramophones are primarily designed for giving great acoustics. Ideal performance is achieved using fiber needles and acoustically tested stylus arrangements coupled with a horn that connects directly to the stylus making the amplification and sound focus the most accurate possible. Unlike the beaten brass horns of the decor gramophones, these use solid 12-gauge brass horns that are rigged to support their own weight.

These will operate just like the originals - wind them up, put on your old 78 rpm records (only 78s. won't work with 33s or 45s), and hear music as in the old days! Care has been taken to maintain the authenticity of each and every component exactly the same as in the original HMV gramophones.
