- 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.

Dude, I find this a lot more fascinating than electronically produced sound. The fact that this is mechanically-produced sound blows my mind.
the things that can be done without electricity are incredible ! Mechanical technology is pretty facinating indeed
@@hervederinel262 true u do not need electricity
I think the ones with the brass horns are fakes.
Sorry. I still think it's a thing of beauty if it is or if it isn't
@@splatlunch8812 irdk
It's crazy to think that there are no electronics involved in making this work.
There is gears that make the turntable spin. And vibration of the needle Carry's the sound up to the horn
@@wallk03 Respectfully, this doesn’t involve electricity. It’s all mechanical.
@@wallk03 no electricity
Well for the years 1998 it was not so strange but if he was impressed by the gramophone and the phonograph for them it was such a strange and divine thing
I think records back then were made by electricity.
what it sounds like when I'm placed on hold
1900s called...and they've put you on hold
With the static and everything xD
I e EB
we've got Facebook and smart toilets and we still have old hold music... I love it
Amazing! I feel a bit sad when I imagine the singer and the musicians all happy recording this músic more than 100 years ago and now all dead. Life is wierd. Best regards from Brazil, Mário.
100% true, all you hear is the dead is singing.
@@azia5051 😢
Mario Jr yep it is true, and one day it will happens to us too.
@@azia5051 yes yes, Best regards from Brazil Mário
That's the life bro, it's always running from generation to generation
0.75x, you won’t regret it :)
That's cool. It's like a whole different song.
1.75👌🏾
Word.
Yup
played it in 0.5x to get sensation of old music in endgame captain america dancing scene lol
This is directly the original sound of the music itself.. wow! It’s like magic!
Yes, I was thining the same, you realize that maybe people who recorder It pasased away even before you were born and u can listen what they left, It is just moving
Bioshock vibes. I love the distortion of the music. Makes it kind of relaxing
Is it wierd for a teen to like old stuff?
@@tiredandhungry8088 Of course not ^^
@@countersphere2924 facts
What a beautiful music right on the screen.
I was literally thinking of bioshock or don't starve when I heard this song
I fixed one of these during a party with family friends. Needless to say, the moment it started working and they all simultaneously looked at me in shock and amusement, was priceless.
Must've felt nice!
This is an excellent song, and its crazy how a brass speaker from the early 1900s and a needle can play the sound of a record that looks the same and is the same as any other record but with different sound.
ITS NOT A SPEAKER. ITS A HORN.
1. it's a horn 2. it's the same principle as one of your electric speakers.
@@gunnarthefeisty how is it the same principle? Its not.
@@bronzefanpage8256 ??? Diaphragm vibrates just like a speaker cone does, amplifying the music
Maybe not the same as any other record because there were wax cylinders, brass cylinders, then came these shellac 78s, then vinyl in the 50s.
I want a gramophone so bad!
Saaaaaame!
There's plenty on ebay
Me too
I want one with 8 metalic legs that chase you if you don't wind it in time.
I have 2 one from the 1930s and one modern remake so I could see the difference
I see that marvelous piece and I imagine a family back in the 20s playing a record on it and enjoying their time together :)
Sadly it's a reproduction, an old one but its horrible for the records 🙁
@gabrielchavez4751 I don't think so, it's just been polished
@@ericschulze5641 it's easy to tell an original from a replica. Look at the sharp bend where the arm connects to the horn. On an original machine this area was almost always curved.
I found this at my home of my grandpa, he didnt know its here, its like 100 years old I think I'm so happy. We have here also 15-20 of this records end they are stil playable
Memorable...growing up in 1970's and 80's was fun
Phonty Phonograph looking good in HD
i agree
One day I will have this.......
I like to listen those old songs which remind me the childhood days .it is nostalgic .No modern music system can take its place .
Old gramophone is the best to satisfy my urge .
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.
Greetings,
Unfortunately, many and old Victrola or phonograph ended up in the cellar when the main springs that powered them broke. I have replaced many a such spring in these wonderful old machines.
Man, how is that even possible? Technology blows my mind away sometimes, you know? I love analog technology.
Those old record players are so awesome!!!! I need me one!!! These future generations need to respect that!!!!
I would really love to have this. My grandmother had one. And I use to enjoy it more than a radio. I miss her. I was only 6 at the time. Puts tears in my eyes just watching :)

Es una serendipia tener la oportunidad de escuchar algo así en la actualidad, gracias por subirlo ❤
Even though I'm gen z I find 20th/19th century stuffs more interesting, I don't know why I love old fashions lol
You're definitely not alone in that!
God it's always great to find a new Jack Hylton song
Phonty Phonograph
Phonty have a correct elbow.
ive been listening to this on repeat for 7 hours!
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.
At least this has a proper soundbox based on the camera angle on 2:02
Winding handle looks like it has Garrard style wooden end, so I would guess there is a Garrard motor in there. Horn and horn elbow are clearly modern reproductions though
0.75x for the mimic version
I like the sound of a gramophone , I really think there is something more than just music coming out of it , it's memory from a time most of us don't know , that sound that isn't perfect is what is fabulous, it's what I like ,it's what I think is perfection
Hehe, the invention of our well-known phrase "Put a sock in it will you!".. It's funny that all these phrases were born somewhere and put a sock in it was born with the gramophone. A cute old piece of history.
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!!
@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.

OMG THE SOUND QUALITY OF THIS IS AMAZING!!!!
This video opened up a world for me and got me in to 1920s music, when I got a ukulele I brought the the sheet music for this. Love this song much. Thanks for posting
Thank you so much. That's really cool. Maybe I make a few more videos?

IT'S PHONTY!!
Imagine listening to “I Don’t Wanna Set The World On Fire” by the Ink Spots on this thing.
Loving it; & it would be superb, if these kind of gramophone-records were to be re-recorded with todays' technology.
Now I know were Grammys were made😂. Gramophone trophy.
🤔
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.
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....
@@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.
O.K. - I'm half wrong. It's a modern reproduction for sure.
May be a reproduction but a pretty good one!
My grandfather just passed away and left one for the family. I want to get it working ☺️
Ah that's sad news, let me know if you get it going. 😊
@@benldavis30 I will!
Man, this sounds so much better than digital music, the little inconsistencies and scratches make it sound so much more natural
Man... that's an old music! But it feets good for gramophone!

idk why but I just love the hiss and pop
These machines need a comeback, but tweaked enough to accommodate the new vinyl Albums
Gramophone music is amazing 😀
Horn is very beautiful.

Great video! My grandmother told me stories of listening to music on a gramophone with her father she was a vocalist and Inspired me to sing as well, thank you for posting this! -Maria Linda Mabry (Professional Vocalist)
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.
What a beautiful piece
Such a work of art with this mechanically engineered gramaphone
I heard one of these playing last night in my house in the dead of night at 2am.
We don't have own one. This place was built in the 1980's though.
Your house is a living horror game if you heard one, at the dead of night, despite the fact you don’t have one
Perhaps @@mrantiques1912 🥲
Still sounds better than pop music.
How very special...the wall painted your portrait 😁
I love this so much
The most incredible thing about this is that it uses no electricity. I wish someone made a hand cranked, no electricity turntable for modern records.
Some acoustic phonographs can play 33s and 45s just use fibre needles or toothpicks so you don't ruin the record.
Beautiful gramophone
Every hair on my arms is standing on end... how cool is that

I own one! It is a Victor III from 1906. I restored it myself and it plays beautiful! I should probably post a video of it sometime.
Careful, it might grow legs and start playing a different song while simultaneously chasing you

Excellent gramophone
Greetings,
It isn't a genuine antique. It is a cheap reproduction made in India or Pakistan. It is worthless.
5 years later I realize that's a replica. Apparently the horn being a shiny brass is one of the giveaways that it's a replica, as well as thickness of the support piece at the back for the horn and tone arm with the support piece being thicker on authentic ones. 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.
ok
You also was playing the record MUCH too fast.
Its crazy to know this video was 10 years ago and he still hearts comments
Wonderfull..., nice...👍👍👏👏👏
WHY IS THE MIMIC INSIDE MY HEAD
There's a way to simulate the needle/membrane part of the cone. Measure the needle membrane and try to find a 32ohm headphone speaker with similar size, pair it with two 32ohm resistor to convert stereo into monaural then replace the membrane on the cone with the headphone speaker and connect it to an audio source with a p2 plug.
Lovely
and there you have it!! turn the needle round😊
