The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I just saw this online from phonofun - it's a bluetooth speaker that fits into the throat of any horn

Pretty novel idea - I think it's pretty cool

Maybe install it upside down and along with a recorder, make your own custom cylinder recordings?

Variation on a theme........Blue tooth speaker seen clearly at end of video.

I think it is a good idea for museums or amusement parks that have phonographs but dont want to constantly crank them up to play them. I feel though it is far cheaper to buy a small Bluetooth speaker off Amazon for a quarter of the price and same quality though.

There are several variations of these. Here is one I made to play MP3s:

I have two of these. I love them, they seat nicely into a horn. I use them in the wood horns in the family room or dining room while cooking dinner or just hanging out. Very well designed. Recommended from here *****

I have one as well, it's a cool little addition.
