  • Notes
  • Gramophone Style No. 3.

    In presenting this machine to you as a new style, we trust it will meet with your approbation, as we have studied, for a long time, the preparation of a machine that will give a thoroughly first class reproduction in every respect, and yet reduce the cost, and consequently the price, to a point where everyone can secure a Gramophone. The illustration shows the machine complete as offered. It is finished in dead nickel. The sound reproducer used with this machine is exactly the same as that on the more expensive styles, and you will find it equal in its tone reproduction. The machine is always furnished with a black horn.
    Fred Gaisberg' s Diary advert from 1901.

    Of the various models produced towards the end of 1900 on the English market to expand the range of gramophones, no. 3 was the cheapest spring machine, to 3 guineas. (The original 'Trade Mark' model morphed into Style No. 5 at £5.10.)

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

    Grammofono «Style n. 3», 1901 circa. Dei diversi modelli prodotti verso la fine del 1900 sul mercato Inglese per ampliare la gamma dei grammofoni, il n. 3 era la macchina a molla più a buon mercato, a 3 ghinee. (Il modello originale «Trade Mark» si  trasformò nello Style n. 5 a £ 5.10).
