Play & Record Gramophone Advent Calendar

Perfect for music lovers: countdown the days of Advent with a delightful miniature gramophone which plays clever, electronic ‘records’: 24 records with pre-recorded instrumental music plus three records to record your own audio messages to play as a special greeting during the festive season. To record a message, simply press the microphone button and speak; you can record up to five minutes of audio. Perfect for sending a special greeting or if you want to sing a special tune. The three recordable records can be used again and again to record messages: great fun if you are giving the Advent calendar as a gift and want to send a surprise or topical greeting! The 24 music-records play instrumental recordings of German and British melodies; mixing traditional carols with popular Christmas music. Simply place the day’s record onto the turntable and lift the arm to hear a burst of festive music. Includes 'Joy to the World', ‘Stille Nacht', ‘O Come All Ye Faithful', 'O Tannenbaum', 'Alle Jahre wieder', and more. Each record is decorated with a nostalgic, 19th or early 20th century scrap motif. Patented in 1887 by German-born American inventor Emile Berliner (1851-1929), the gramophone was the first machine to use metal discs rather than cylinders to play recordings.
