Re: Featured Phonograph No. 124 - Berliner with Coronet Horn
Bill,
We have been looking forward to seeing your machine with great anticipatory delight!
WOW YOU DID A FANTASTIC JOB. The horn is amazing and the whole machine is just jaw dropping.
We would like to put in a request to PLEASE BRING TO UNION for everyone to see. If there is a way to bring this to Union please do it.
Congratulations on an outstanding machine.
All the best,
David & Lerria

Very nice. I'm so glad you managed to find the remaining parts needed. The record case looks 100%.
One of the best buys on Ebay in recent memory.
Congrats!!!.

Re: Featured Phonograph No. 124 - Berliner with Coronet Horn
A beautiful machine indeed! But if Berliner called it "Coronet Horn" after the brass instrument, he was incorrect. The musical instrument is the CORNET (only one "O"). A coronet is a crown (<Latin "corona"), a cornet is a horn (<Latin "cornu"). A common error.

You are correct. I went back to the original post on this machine to look at the ad from the Aug.1899 of the Phonoscope that Schlick had posted and not only is it advertised as a 'Cornet Horn", but the cost of $35.00 is for the machine and the Cornet Horn. My mistake,good catch.

It would be very very nice to see and hear a youtube video of it playing with a reasonably unworn record.

The cornet was my first instrument, followed by baritone horn and trombone. So I feel a special bond with it. Also, it was the instrument of the early Louis Armstrong, and also Bix Beiderbecke, as well as Herbert L. Clarke, the great soloist. So it deserves respect!

Ah... I was going to observe that the horn cost more than the Gramophone itself ($25.00)...StL Bill wrote:Henry;Henry wrote:A beautiful machine indeed!
