Front‑Mount Zonophone Phonograph (c.1900).
Early “Concert‑Style” Variant · Original Brass Horn · Fully Overhauled
Bring home one of the most visually striking and mechanically impressive machines of the early disc era. This Front‑Mount Zonophone Phonograph is a beautifully preserved example from the turn of the century—an early model built in the style of the coveted Zonophone “Concert” machines, sharing the same bold motor design, front‑mount tonearm, and commanding presence.
Freshly overhauled and running with excellent strength and stability, this Zonophone is ready for display or demonstration. The machine features:
- Original 16-inch brass horn with warm patina and classic flared profile
- 9-inch turntable typical of early Concert‑style Zonophones
- Compact case (approx. 12 × 10.5 in.) with rich finish and strong visual appeal
- Concert‑grade motor architecture, identical in layout to the marked “Concert” models
Machines like this—unmarked but mechanically identical to the Concert series—represent a fascinating transitional moment in Zonophone history. They are highly desirable, increasingly difficult to locate, and prized for their bold front‑mount design and powerful acoustic projection.
Whether you’re building a serious early disc collection or seeking a standout centerpiece with unmistakable character, this Zonophone delivers rarity, beauty, and mechanical authority in one package.
