EMG Gramophone. Malcolm McEachern---The merry peasant (Schumann) ...words Hilliam.

It says a lot about 80 year old acoustic technology that can still blow out modern microphones!

Is that Thurl Ravenscroft?

[peesyweesy]

@peesyweesy sorry - didn't see the title!

[grahamrankin]

OK, I will try to remember to do this next time we set it up---maybe a little while though.

[grahamrankin]

It takes a while to set up the Nimbus horn gramophone which I keep in the attic but I shall try to remember next time we have it out.

[kirtley2010]

@grahamrankin it would be interesting if you do a video showing how you set up the nimbus horn just a suggestion

[grahamrankin]

Hello Kirtley, I too love this record which is rare and I am afraid, since it is the only one I have, I am keen to hang on to it. If I should find another I shall let you know. Best wishes, Graham.

[kirtley2010]

@grahamrankin could you play this record through the nimbus horn, it would be interesting to her how it compares to the XB oversize

[kirtley2010]

i love this song, would there be any chance of you concidering selling this record thanks

Fascinating sound quality! I always thought that after 1930 extrenal horn gramophones were no longer produced....Your machine is even better than the Victrola Credenza and the HMV Re-Entrant.

[kirtley2010]

@Ronald070 it would be hard for the credenzas or re-entrants to get anywere close to an emg, the horn is not folded, it is over 30 inches in diamiter and on this example it is made of fibreglass (because it is a reproduction horn) but normaly paper mache on the origional, and true most gramophones were made without external horns after 1930 but if you can get a sound this good and clear from a external horn then why not make a gramophone with one

[grahamrankin]

Very many thanks CurzonRoad for the wonderful recording of "Devonshire cream and cider"---quintessential English song from an Aussie ! Totally glorious and much appreciated.

Great, wonderful sound from your EMG!

Thank YOU!

[Gypsymojo]

Fantastic sound, I have the Mark 9, I would love to have the Mark 10b with the over sized horn. They really are amazing, thanks for posting. Regards Marcel

[grahamrankin]

If you are serious, I may be able to help you.

Oh the amazing tone!! Wow! Even through the tons of compression and a tiny camera microphone the character and tone is huge!

I want four of those!

[brwnipoints]
