"The gramophone as it sounds to your neighbour"

I found this fun cartoon online! Sorry about the size and photo quality, it's the only copy I found find.

Anyone know where it came from?

I had to laugh at the push-up piano player. I immediately thought of my own push-up & my still extremely out of tune piano. It certainly sounds like I'm tickling the ivories with a sledge hammer at times :lol:

This is why I don't play the Diamond Disc in the evening. And Shane think of the pleasure that a tuned piano and a Pianola would bring to your home( not that I have an agenda here or anything...... :D )

My neighbors ought to be more concerned about upsetting me! While indoors, I can hear the thumping bass of their mobile 1,000 watt ghetto-blasting rap music three blocks away, and that is no exaggeration. There are laws against that, but it is never enforced.

I live in a Condo complex and my neighbors comment on the nice soothing music ( Strauss waltzes, classical, 20's) from my Credenza. Little do they know their listening experience would be quite different if the Moody Blues came on 78 rpm discs. 8-)

Edison saw the neighbours as potential new customers.

You can almost hear what is coming next, "Daddy, can we have a phonograph?"
