This Columbia Grafonola Type G-2 is a floor-standing phonograph housed in a beautifully crafted deep, dark wood cabinet. The rich hardwood features exquisite grain patterns and a lustrous finish. The cabinet design includes seven spacious shelves concealed behind two cabinet doors, perfect for storing records. The phonograph mechanism is located in the upper section of the cabinet, with a distinctive front-facing grille for sound projection. The Grafonola was introduced in 1907 by the Columbia Graphophone Company as an alternative to their external horn Disc Graphophones.  This innovative design concealed the horn within the cabinet, resulting in a more compact and aesthetically pleasing piece of furniture. The Type G-2 model, like the one offered here, was a popular model known for its rich sound and elegant design.   The Grafonola represents a pivotal period in the history of audio technology, marking the transition from external horn to internal horn phonographs. It's a tangible link to the early days of recorded music and home entertainment. The Foster and Waldo Company was a prominent manufacturer of phonograph cabinets for the Columbia Graphophone Company in the early 20th century. Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, Foster and Waldo was renowned for its high-quality woodworking and cabinetmaking skills. They produced a wide range of cabinets for Columbia Grafonolas, each designed to complement the elegance and technological innovation of the phonograph mechanisms. Dimensions: 21"L x 19.75"W x 45"HCondition: Age related wear.
