Rare Kalamazoo Duplex Phonograph – Vintage Two-Horn Acoustic Talking Machine!

Antique Kalamazoo Duplex Phonograph | Dual Horn Design | Early 1900s American Innovation

Step back in time with this extraordinary and increasingly rare Kalamazoo Duplex Phonograph. This isn’t just a record player; it’s a piece of audio history, a brilliant chapter in the story of sound. Born from the vision of an inventor who dared to challenge the industry giants, this dual-horn phonograph is a true testament to American ingenuity. The Duplex was the brainchild of Charles E. Hill, who wanted to create a louder, more powerful sound, and in the process, he put the city of Kalamazoo on the map.

This specific machine is a genuine survivor from a bygone era, and it shows. The original cabinet retains its beautiful finish and decals, giving it an authentic charm that modern reproductions just can’t match. To bring its powerful sound back to life, the unique twin horns have been expertly restored. They look absolutely stunning and perfectly complement the machine. While the reproducer and support arm are professional reproductions, they were crafted with such care that they often work even better than the original century-old parts. But don’t worry, the heart and soul of this phonograph—its motor—is completely original and authentic.

This is a compact but powerful piece, measuring approximately 30 inches in length and 17 inches across its bells. It produces that distinctive, loud sound that made the Duplex a legend among collectors. Its rarity and historical significance make it a prized possession for anyone who appreciates the history of recorded music. This is an exceptional opportunity to own a significant piece of American history. If you have any questions or are interested in international shipping, please don’t hesitate
