“On This Day in the History of Recorded Sound…”
June 2, 1908: Stanislaus Moss was granted a U.S. patent (No.889,480) for a “Horn for Talking Machines.” This was the solid-wooden “Music Master” horn, sold for cylinder and disc machines. Manufactured by Sheip & Vandegrift, “Music Master” bells were also supplied for Edison Cygnet horns, and those supplied with the Edison Opera/Concert.
