The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I saw this picture in some YouTube video and instantly recognized it as what I think is an EMG gramophone horn? Just figured I’d post it here.

Yes, Mark 9 horn in good condition in 1967, I'd guess? These more often than not tend to suffer from horn sag due to the lack of reinforcement in the construction. No such problems showing here.

So who is this John Lennon character, do we know?

I believe he may have been the walrus.

Goo goo ga joob.

Incredible. So what youtube video was it from?
Here is another. A bit weird as the first one looks like the same image of Lennon but in a different setting. It's obvious it's been cut out and transposed into a different background. Why would someone do that?
Even stranger, yet another different image, the LABRAPHONE:

John Lennon’s official Instagram page revealed a really rare photo of The Beatles star playing a bizarre instrument, alphorn (also known as ‘Labraphone.’)

Whoever wrote that article was badly informed, claiming it was part of an alp horn or labraphone...

Just some lazy journalist making up rubbish.
