 Solid Brass, Mechanical Reproducers for Shellac 78' Recordings hand made here in North Wales to the design specifications of the Expert Committee's report of 1927

"Crede Experto"

( sound boxes for Electric recordings ) 

That was published in the Gramophone magazine & lists a number of important design details .

These details were used by Leading Hand-made Gramophone Companies of the day, such as E.M.G , EXPERT & ASTRA. These 3 London based Groups produced cutting edge Sound box designs at the end of the Mechanical reproduction Era of the mid 1920's- 1930's before home audio became ALL Electric.

We are offering a few reproducer models that are directly based on the designs of E.M.G & Expert with either a 2 or 4 spring, Stylus bar suspension & with either round or Triangular needle ports to use Steel, Thorn or Fibre needles.
