The DECCA has now an International reputation. Its devotees numb r hundreds of thousands, and are to be found in all Countries of the World. There is no other gramophone like the Decca. When it is open, you can recognise it at a glanco. But when it is closed you carry it with out others being aware it is a gramophone... Playing, there is distinctiveness again. The Decca tone is full, free and entirely natural. Large and expensive Cabinet gramophones, may have such a tone, but no "portable" other than the Decca.
