Gakken Premium Gramophone

When you get sick of the same over-compressed MP3's and digitally produced music, let this Premium Gramophone take you back to the analog days of old. With a bamboo needle and a hand-cranked, completely mechanical action, this is a nearly perfect replica of gramophones used in the early 20th century.

The player is produced by world-class hobbyist supplier Gakken, and the quality shows. This gramophone supports all record sizes, features speed and tone adjustment, and even lets you record music! No file formats to worry about, no batteries to replace, and the warm, nostalgic sound of analog - this just might be the perfect music player.
