Music from Antiqueness

Gramophones and Phonographs (or popularly called ‘record players’ or ‘LP players’) cannot skip the conversation between two music lovers who cannot stop reminiscing about the music of the good old days. On one hand, gramophones have virtually become obsolete and are rarely found in the market. There may be very few antique shops which may showcase gramophones; finding one in top condition is still quite an impossible task. On the other hand, phonographs have undergone a tremendous transformation. They have transformed into turntables used by new age Disc jockeys. Despite these technological changes, older generation music loves find no substitute to the clarity and beauty of record players no matter how antique they are.
