EDISON HOME PHONOGRAPH
Elegant is how it looks -- but spectacular is the way it sounds! The Edison Cygnet horn was acoustically well-designed to produce loud, clear, bright music. Plus, it is space-economic, requiring no extra room to display, while giving acoustically amazing results. The original Cygnet horn ("swan's neck" from the Latin cycnus, cygnus, from Greek kyknos, "swan") has been carefully and artistically repainted and gilt striped.
The Model D was an improved, updated and more pleasingly embellished instrument. The company "dressed up" he mechanical works with complex decorations. Plus, the mechanics were designed to play either the 2-minute cylinder records, 4-minute cylinder records -- or BOTH, depending on the reproducer you choose (see below).
The Model D sports smart gold and blue decoration, entirely original and in excellent condition. The sleekness, smoothness, spotlessness of the mechanism is something only phonophan can supply. Beware online auction charlatans who throw around superlatives like confetti, but send you inferior merchandise! In fact, phonophan is the only firm CRAZY enough to spend hours carefully administering to each tiny detail. It really is a crazy way to make a living, but at phonophan we are obsessed with making these ancient instruments as perfect and trouble-free as pissible.
Onside the lid, this original notice informed customers of reproducer options.
Own the elegant and refined Cygnet horn and invest in the best. This instrument will delight you with years of music and enjoyment. It is of the highest quality, correctly cleaned and adjusted, ready to set up and enrich your leisure hours. Do not mistake our merchandise for the shabby, poorly regulated claptrap found elsewhere on the Web. NOBODY else has our 40 years of expertise, with 8 books in print on the history of recorded sound to prove it!
