Remembered the advert instantly! Those cornets do a grand job of sounding like bells. As for the gramophone, I believe it was a budget alternative to the 102. Soundbox diaphragm looks a bit different, but sounds great.
When I came across the record I had the same reaction remembering the advert ! You're correct about the gramophone Paul , it was the HMV 97 (a budget version of the 102 & there was also a Columbia badged version No 204) The soundbox is actually a Columbia 15A, the only difference being that the HMV version had their logo on the front cover of the soundbox ! 🙂
Absolutely wonderful! It sounds like it's playing in a ballroom or something!
Thanks Rowan , glad you liked it !🙂
