Gramophone playing "When Summer is Gone"

A vintage 1920s gramophone playing a Fox Trot record called "When Summer is Gone" (Harrison & Whittle) performed by Jack Hylton and his Orchestra (with Vocal Refrain) on the "His Master's Voice" label. Filmed on a Canon 5D mkII with a Canon 28-70mm L series lens and a RØDE Microphone.

Fantastic. My mum had a magnificent gramophone player in the cellar of our family home but the wind-up mechanism was broken. It was housed in a Jacobean style lidded oak chest on barley twist legs; quite a large contraption that stood higher than the average man's waist. It had two doors at the front, one of which opened to reveal pierced fretwork behind which was a fine gauzy brown fabric afore the speaker. I think there was space inside to store the records too. It was an object of fascination to me as a small child in the late 1970s. Sadly we lost it during a house clearance. Thanks for posting this video.

[@jaquelinem.3396]

This gramophone is not an original from the 1920s, its most likely a modenr copy as it has some modern components and brass. At that time, iron sheet was almost always used, which was then painted. Brass was not used because brass is too soft and absorbs too much natural vibration, which reduces the sound quality. Nevetheless a great looking piece.

[@jeeprod1]

I was waiting for someone else to notice this. The giveaway, besides the phony brass horn, was the undersized tonearm, and the closeup- up view showing the reproducer off kilter from the 90 degrees it needs from the record surface.. Also, people need to get away from playing records not suited for the machine. The machine pretends to be a 1906-1912 model, and the record is electrically recorded and clearly from the 1940s. It is badly blasting the pretend exibition reproducer which was not made to play electrically recorded material. It was also playing a little too fast....

[@darrencolt5955]

@@jeeprod1 Rod: I've been a collector for 60 years. It's hard to tell without seeing the machine close up, but it does seem to be an original "late" model gramophone - maybe 1925-1927 - because it has a goose neck tone arm. Notice the wear on the tone arm. The horn is a modern reproduction, although Victor in the U.S. made nickle plated brass horns. Modern collectors often have the the nickle plating removed so as to have a polished brass horn. The song "When summer Is Gone" is one of my favorites. This arrangement,however, stinks ! The recording is from 1927. The record would sound so much better if an Orthophonic reproducer had been fitted to the machine. I have a Victor Model V made in 1910 - the largest of Victors outside horn machines. I've fitted it with an HMV "Orthophonic" reproducer - made in 1930 - especially to play electrically recorded records. You can't believe the quality or volume of sound reproduction. Unbelievable !! And all without electricity.

its a mix bag of reproduction and genuine parts, probably made in India. They take salvaged, old gramophones and give them new springs, gears etc. Especially the horn is new and is often changed. It is "like new". The case may or may not be original because staining wood to age it is very easy to do. The arm seems like it is old.

It’s kind of creepy. The old music, the vinyl crackling, and the fact it was made 100 years ago. But, I have respect for it. It’s crazy how just a needle on something called a record can produce mechanically- produced music without a tint of technology. CRAZY!!

[@SuperiorSandbox]

@Simon McCreath I'd wager the it sounds bad because this machine is not a real gramophone, it's a cheap Indian replica likely made after the 1980s. People like to call these machines: 'crapophones'. Reasons the record could sound bad on this machine: -Cheap replica reproducer -inconsistent/bad tracking weight -Bad needle -Overall cheap, poor quality machine Of course the record may legitimately be worn as it is nearly 100 years old. Since this record is from 1929 it is likely an 'old style' 78 made of harder shellac with plenty of abrasive material. Thus it would be completely safe to play on a genuine, properly functioning Victor phonograph which is what the cheap crapophone is trying to look like. This is because the abrasives in the record will wear down the needle instead of the record's grooves. As long as the needle is replaced every time the record is played there should be no issue playing it on an old windup gramophone/phonograph long-term The reason you may be thinking real external horn gramophones wear records is because shellac 78s made from 1930 onward tended to be softer shellac with less abrasive material. Meant for newer gramophones with lighter tone arms. So it is generally unwise to play these newer shellac 78s on old external-horn gramophones like the Victor III. It will wear them faster. But record from the time period of the machines (1906 - 1922 for the Vic III) are certainly safe. However you shouldn't play any record on the cheap crapophones as the poor quality of the machine could contribute to excessive wear.

To be fair it's not as bad as some of the other replicas out there, it's just doesn't sound as good as an authentic one and I'm not sure if the needle is doing any damage or not since replicas are notorious for ruining records. At least the needle is being placed on the right side, since I've come across videos of cheap replicas where the user would place the needle on the wrong side.

The tempo on the music is perfect in my opinion. I’ve always believe the songs from back then, especially Lohengrin Prelude to act III on my 59’ (60 Years of Music America Loves Best) record sounds absolutely beautiful. And to those who are wondering why it’s fast, it’s because the recordings need a large disc to complete the entire song, ending up with 2 sided discs with only two songs. Also contributing to the fastness works like this: If you put it to the right tempo (speed) it’ll be lower pitched; worse in my opinion; but if you’d rather have it fast but higher you’d sometimes have the ability to make the songs go slower.
