Object History
This Graphonette or small suitcase gramophone was made by Thorens of St. Croix, Switzerland, using a “SONATA” reproducer or sound box. These smaller phonographs were prised for their portability, but not for the loudness of their sound. These small machines were very popular after the First World War. The ability to play records anywhere had made them popular gifts for solders They remained popular through the 1920s. The Sonata is designed to play 10 inch, 78 RPM records. There is no need for a speed adjustment because 78 RPM was the standard speed for disks.
