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.

- Record player - Fleetwood, speeds 78, 45, 33 1/3, 16. Model 319 / Serial No. A 56555 / . . . . / MADE IN CANADA / RECORD PLAYER CORPORATION". It has a pop up 45 rpm record, centre on the turntable. the turntable was coated with flocking type of finish rather than having a felt or rubber mat. The 16 rpm speed was an attempt to give longer playback times. The fidelity was not good and was used mostly for voice only recording (story telling for children) or on musac type recordings. This was used for a short period c 1957 to 1959 and then faded away.
- Object History
- Fleetwood record player made by the Record Player Corporation of Montreal. This appears to have been intended for children to play their records. The most interesting thing about the record player is that it has four speeds – 78 RPM, 45 RPM, 33 1/3 RPM and 16 RPM.
