Kutō Disk Type Gramophone クトウ円盤式蓄音機

クトウ蓄音機商会/製造

In the Taisho era, at a time when phonographs were still expensive, this domestically manufactured phonograph became a major hit due to its unique design and affordable price. The secret was in the mechanism for turning the record: instead of using a spring, which was common at the time, the user turned the record manually. By doing so, the number of parts was reduced, resulting in a product that was cheap and durable.
