Frequently Asked Questions
Can the gramophone play real records?
Yes. It plays 7- and 10-inch vinyl records, in analog format, with a wonderfully nostalgic sound.
How is the gramophone operated?
There are two ways: You can wind up the gramophone using the hand crank and play records the old-fashioned way. Or you can connect it to a USB power adapter or a power bank via the micro-USB port, and the motor will spin the turntable automatically. A power adapter and power bank are not included.
Do I need glue or tools?
You don't need glue—the precision-machined parts fit together perfectly. If you'd like, you can secure individual joints for added stability. Handy tips for building: Use a utility knife and a file to cleanly remove the parts and smooth out tight spots; use the small hammer to gently tap the snap-fit joints into place so everything sits securely. All three tools are included in our tool set.
Can I do this even without any experience?
The Gramophone is a true master project: Level 5 (Masterpiece), 424 pieces, over 10 hours of assembly time.

History of the gramophone
The gramophone, invented by the American Edison in 1877, is generally regarded as a marvel of the 19th century. It is a machine that records and reproduces sound using analog signals. In the 1940s, the gramophone was the most important music player. After the 1960s, people gradually entered the digital age and the gramophone gradually disappeared from people's sight. However, the sounds recorded in the era of analog signals are still played through the gramophone, which sounds more classic and valuable. What is not known is that most classic gramophones are manually operated. To revive the classics, you can operate the gramophone with a crank.
The record as a status symbol
The gramophone supports 7-inch and 10-inch records. So you can play the favorites of your youth on it. Comes with a vinyl record that plays 3 pieces of music:
- The Merry Gent
- Memory Of A Dance
- The Giant Killers
The volume can be adjusted manually using the rotary knob. There is also a micro USB port that can be connected to an external power supply to reduce the intensity of the hand crank.
Fun & challenge
The challenge and the tricky situations during assembly are worth it when the showpiece is finished and the crackling of the records can be heard from the gramophone. Are you ready for your 424-piece project?
