Very interesting. Thank you as always steve.Steve wrote: Thu Nov 27, 2025 4:29 amDeccalian gramophones are table or floor standing, very high quality gramophones based upon the original "Decca" portable gramophone. Most appear to date from the 1921-23 period so were short-lived. A later and much more cheaply made range of floor standing "Decca" machines were called "Dulceola"'s, prior to the introduction of the "Salon" range from 1929 onwards, which attempted to compete with the HMV re-entrants.poodling around wrote: Wed Nov 26, 2025 1:54 pm I must admit that I don't understand what these Deccalian gramophones actually are but I would have paid much more than this had I been there on the basis that they seem to be very well thought of by some on here and I actually quite like this one.
