Red I want a turn at lowering the needle myself. I’d probably hold my breath just before it touches the record.
Nea I’d like a closer look at the Nipponophone No. 35. Even without hearing it, I’m curious about the design of those early record players.
From lowering the needle to caring for records
Alongside the hands-on listening, Denon staff will explain how to handle and care for records. They can also help visitors work out which equipment they need to listen at home—a useful conversation for anyone considering a first setup.
A historic gramophone to see, flagship Hi-Fi to hear
The historic Japanese gramophone Nipponophone No. 35 will be on display only. There will be no listening demonstration of this gramophone.
