  • 1.  Phonograph Horn

    Posted 04-16-2021 15:15
    Hi,

    We are working on a production of Camping with Henry and Tom and are in search of a phonograph horn or DIY instructions. Can anyone help? Many thanks!

    Hi Christina! I think a phonograph also goes by the name of gramophone, and if so, I found more resources using that name. Try the links below and see if those are more along the lines of what you are looking for:

    Anyone else ever try to build a gramophone/phonograph?

    If it's just a gramophone you're looking for.  They sell replicias.  They really work.  I've bought two different ones.  Try Amazon.

    We painted a lampshade brown to make it look like it was made out of wood. I can't find it to show you a picture, but it looked good from the audience.
