The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Does anyone have any literature on the more eastern branch of Deutsche Grammophon, the Austro-Hungarian branch? I believe they produced some unique machines and coin-ops, pre world war 1?

thanks

Are you looking for anything in particular?

I am interested in learning about these as well. I have been getting back to my roots a bit Grammophon- wise.

Here's a local, (Czech, part of Austro Hungarian Empire at the time) line up of Gramolas.

The pictures are not viewable to me now but if you also can't see theem, they include a re-named L Door XVI, XIV, some table top models and some horn machines with uniquie horns, cases.

all of those pictures are lost...

Maybe Alan Kelly published something about recordings of that branch, I don't know about machines. You can ask for info at the German forum https://grammophon-platten.de/news.php and also in the GHT http://www.phonomuseum.at/

DGAG sounds like a suspended open tuning for a baritone ukulele, something sarod-like, something that Davey Graham might have tried had he played uke.
