1911 HMV Gramophone Monarch Model V
SKU AJ013 Dimension: L: 14.5 W: 10 H: 15.5 Inches
This is a beautiful antique 1911 HMV Gramophone Monarch Model V Horn. HMV stands for “His Masters Voice”, is a trademark in the music business, and for many years was the name of a large record label. The name was coined in 1899 as the title of a painting of the dog Nipper listening to a wind-up gramophone. This model is for display ONLY and are handmade on a 1:1 scale using iron. Every detail such as the horn and storage box is carefully crafted just like a real one. A must have for the collector and enthusiast!
As the arcade phonograph business was growing in 1893, Edison was moving into the business of manufacturing records (either made in-house or sent to him by his regional phonograph operating companies), and he appeared to be planning to establish the phonograph as a home entertainment device.
However, his progress was slowed considerably by the numerous lawsuits filed against him by competing inventors.
In 1894 or 95, a German immigrant to the U.S. named Emile Berliner introduced a commercial version of the record player he had been developing since about 1887. The player used a disc instead of a cylinder (although Edison, Tainter, Cros, and others had anticipated the use of the disc). The record was made on a zinc disc coated with wax. Once a recording was carved into the wax, the disc was dipped in an acid solution, which ate away the disc under the groove and etched the recording into the surface of the zinc. Then, using an electroplating process, the zinc disc was turned into a stamper that could be used to produce the final recordings in large numbers by pressing the stamper into a ball of "Vulcanite" (hard rubber). He called it the "gramophone."
