DGAG - Austro-Hungarian branch

Post by Sidewinder »

Does anyone have any literature on the more eastern branch of Deutsche Grammophon, the Austro-Hungarian branch? I believe they produced some unique machines and coin-ops, pre world war 1?

thanks

I am interested in learning about these as well. I have been getting back to my roots a bit Grammophon- wise.

Here's a local, (Czech, part of Austro Hungarian Empire at the time) line up of Gramolas.

The pictures are not viewable to me now but if you also can't see theem, they include a re-named L Door XVI, XIV, some table top models and some horn machines with uniquie horns, cases.

Maybe Alan Kelly published something about recordings of that branch, I don't know about machines. You can ask for info at the German forum https://grammophon-platten.de/news.php and also in the GHT http://www.phonomuseum.at/

DGAG sounds like a suspended open tuning for a baritone ukulele, something sarod-like, something that Davey Graham might have tried had he played uke. ;)
