What is the horn on a phonograph called?
1 Answer
The horn of a phonograph is actually just called the horn. Early phonographs played music and other sounds when grooves in records caused vibrations to travel from the stylus to the diaphragm. This caused the vibrating diaphragm to generate sound waves carried out through the horn. Find a variety of phonographs on 1stDibs.
