I never inherited my grandparents gramophone and collection, despite being the only known member of the family interested in gramophones since a very little boy.... That collection went to my faraway cousins in Canary Islands, and I've never had news about any of them having the smallest interest on it... I suspect all this is there (if it is still there...) stored away in the house and poorly forgotten... All those records with the writings and signatures of my father and uncles on the sleeves....

The records and the machine have hardly been touched over the decades. I tried my best to get the best video and audio I could. I'm using a nice external microphone but the phonograph reproducer has never been rebuilt and buzzes a little on some of the high notes. I've been jumping around with the order a little but I will get back to the earliest ones once I finish posting the later ones. There are 46 records (92 sides) in total and I am trying to post one side every day. I have them all, plus the ones from after 1935 which I can't play on the acoustic phonograph, catalogued in a google doc if anyone is interested in seeing the full collection.

Thanks for listening. I'm happy to be able to share these!
