      @@normalhumanperson4149 I came across one in a shop over here in canada. I happened to be there at the same time as an instrument collector and he said that they were invented for the sake of early recording technology. I'm not sure if he was referencing the earliest electronic, or mechanical recordings but the idea was that the sound would be more directional so would provide a better signal.
