  • Notes

  • Pigmy Gramophone, H.M.V., 1909. This is the first "hornless" model from the Gramophone Co., very attractive, although less compact than its successors. The tonearm can be quickly detached and the machine transported in a special leather case.

    Original description from: “Fonografi e Grammofoni” by Christopher Proudfoot, Italian edition “Silvana Editoriale” 1980.

    Grammofono Pigmy, H.M.V., 1909. É il primo modello «senza tromba» della Gramophone Co., assai gradevole, benchè meno compatto dei suoi successori. Il braccio acustico può essere staccato rapidamente e la macchina trasportata in un'apposita valigetta in pelle.

    Descrizione originale da: “Fonografi e Grammofoni” di Christopher Proudfoot. Edizione Italiana Silvana Editoriale, 1980.
