  • HI, I am trying to do a similar project myself and I am very impressed with the fidelity and quality of your audio playback. Can you email me some close up images of the needle and membrane mechanism? Thank you so much! :)

  • @seegem Hi, unfortunately I have no close ups at the moment, but the needle is screwed to a luster terminal which is is extended on the other end to be fixed to the middle of a plastic top (= membrane) from an instant coffee jar.

  • I play my records with this same principle, only that I use a paper horn and a blunt needle. I use my hand to turn the record. Better apply the crank like this one. Very cool record player. Its more fashionable than my method. :))

  • @rweerakkody4565, Great you like it, thanks!

  • Molto bello! ("Very nice!" in Italian, my language). I have some "Recycled materials gramophones" too. It' s funny make them. Please, can you tell me the tittle of the song which i hear? It's cool. Nice username, TekknoPizza, ahahah, XD, and thanks very much for this video! :)

  • @antichitaddo, great that you like my gramophone as well as my nickname! The song is from the early 50s as far as I know and called "Little Nightingale". Ciao from Augusta to Genova:-)

  • kleine nachtigall!

  • wow so cool

  • Wow. That is a great gramophone! I like it. I should try to make one like this

  • @Franco6373, membrane is a plastic lid from a glass for instant coffee which is attached to that little white piece of drain pipe that goes to the yellow speaker (it's all fixed by tape and so). The "needle system" is made from electrical stuff like wire nuts and screw joints that hold the needle and lead to the center of the lid. Chau!
