The collector’s grandfather was a farmer in early times. He made efforts to save money to buy the expensive gramophone at the time. It shows his taste of music. Since the object is old, the sound is not clear. However, it can be played manually. It is the heirlooms left by the grandfather. On the gramophone, there is a dog listening to the gramophone. The dog on the brand label is called Nipper which missed the old master. It paid attention to the old owner’s gramophone. Thus, the new master drew it down. The parent company of HMV, Berliner Gramophone, found the label interesting and bought it. The full name of HMV was “His Master's Voice”. Although HMV has declared bankruptcy, the story of Nipper will not be forgotten. We will always remember a cute little dog sitting next to the gramophone to listen to the sound familiar to the master…We see the gramophone which passes on the grandfather’s taste to the generations.
