The gramophone will be a hard competitor of the phonograph when the German Emile Berliner invented it in the year 1887. It was a new reproducer device not based on the Edisonian cylinder, but on that round surface despised by the father of the phonograph, developing the recording laterally, through the groove instead of up and down. Between the disc and the cylinder there would be a fierce struggle, which ends up winning the disc thanks to an aggressive advertising campaign that would make this format would get more and more followers. This is a very beautiful collector's item, very aesthetically pleasing and a magnificent musical delight. The case measures 33 x 30 x 15 cms and the horn measures 45 cms in diameter and 49 cms in length.
