THE TALKING MACHINE WORLD.
A Revolution in the Phonograph Horn!
No Supports No Crane
No Standard No Special Attachment
A Revolution Indeed!
COLUMBIA GRAPHOPHONE
Since the advent of the Phonograph, back in the eighties, it may safely be affirmed that no real progress has been made in the Phonograph horn ; its size has been gradually increased, thus merely accentuating the defects of the reproduction. At last, the " IDEAL " horn has come ! A scientific device aiming at a pure, melodious reproduction of the sound, be it either a great soprano's song, the endearment of a string instrtunent solo, or the rendering of a Sousa's march. Besides, it eliminates all the bad points of the previous horns — NO SUPPORTS, NO CRANE, NO STANDARD, NO SPECIAL ATTACHMENT are needed with the " IDEAL ; ' all that is required is simply the tumihg of a small thumb screw to fasten securely the "IDEAL" horn to the neck of the reproducer of any cylinder machine, either Edison or Columbia, or to a Devineau Biophone.
The bell of the "IDEAL," made of pure aluminum, is nearly six feet in circumference, assuring the maximum of sound.
The elbow is made of the highest grade of ebonite, which in combination with aluminum, completely eliminates that tin sound so strongly objectionable. In the middle part of the elbow a swivel allows the sound to be thrown in any direction WHILE PLAYING A RECORD.
The " IDEAL " flower horn is handsomely finished and weighs but a few ounces. With the "IDEAL" horn you get "IDEAL" music.
