Title
His Master’s Voice gramophone, ‘Melba’ model, c.1915
Description
As early as 1904, His Master’s Voice named their concert grand model gramophone the ‘Melba’.
Melba also laid the foundation stone of the company’s first factory in Hayes, England. Following her death, an article in The Voice magazine reflected on the prosperity Melba had brought to the early gramophone industry, noting that many people were won over to the new form of technology by the faithful reproduction of her voice.
