No disrespect to the seller of this machine.....but I seriously doubt a man of such stature would own a fairly low end model in the first place. Not to mention these models were not sold in Poland.... ;).

It might be possible that the composer operated a music publishing firm which also retailed gramophones - so there could be a connection.
