yes its a reproduction, but its ok for decoration.

I'm so glad that finally i was able to hear an old vintage record playing honky tonk piano. but i think the sound is too bright but still kudos to you for preserving these records. Great tune!!!

[steviebboy69]

hehe, thanks

well its a bit bright i guess because of the horn of the unit.

i have another gramo. a portable its not so tinny sounding.

and yes its a great tune.

hey awesome. Where can I get me one of them re-productions? and are the new ones on eBay any good? Also, I just about shit my pants when I saw the angle of the needle.... whoa man!! If you angle the needle, it'll sound a lot better, and it'll be a lot easier on your records.

hi,

well i have changed the angle of the needle now.

oh i havent looked much on ebay for the new repo's but they are there. this one i got from somwhere else. its not genuine. but made of old parts. its probably from the 60's or 70's?

This fake gramophone sounds appalling in relation to what genuine vintage machines should look and sound like. For a start the angled winding handle shows that the motor and turntable originated from a portable, as no external-horn machine had such a feature. The turntable is not level and the soundbox is nothing like an early type at all. I have the record, which should sound excellent. It sounds terrible here. It is certainly illegal to use the "His Master's Voice" name and image in this way..

Winifred Atwell made recordings playing "her piano" and "her other piano" which was this dreadfully funny out of tune honky-tonk one.

She played rags in this rapid way, probably starting a tradition that sadly lasts till today- original records and piano rolls show that ragtime was played slower in around 1900.

This is a delight to year, but is the machine playing at the right speed? 78s weren't always recorded at exactly 78rpm, I believe. Rags are generally a little slower than this, and if the player is playing the music too fast, the sound would be higher than it should be and sound a bit tinny.

When was this recorded?

These older Indian reproduction horn gramophones (1950's/60's) are a lot better than the more modern ones. This one was probably made with a brand new motor and soundbox (The 78rpm format lasted a lot longer in India than in Britain, so the major companies like Columbia and HMV were still manufacturing portable wind-up gramophones there until the early 1970's) The modern repro's should be avoided at all costs because they use parts recovered from machines that have been used to death.

I wonder if the manufacturers of fake repro gramophones have permission from the HMV record store chain (current owners of the Nipper logo) to use their dog logo?

[Madrigos]

This gramophone is fake.They usually have the HMV dog on the horn, and the soundbox should look very different.

Have you got a record of Winifred Atwell's arrangment of Flirtation Waltz? If you have, I would certainly recomend putting it on youtube!
