Shared by buildersstudio in the Wooden Crafts
Product Description:
Instead of flat modern plate albums or Edison drums this even older classic used Verbal Cones to record sounds even outside of the normal human range. A standard item in the Library of Yor that contained tens of thousands of recordings from across time. The metal mesh of the speaker modulated the sounds to create subtleties not present in the most modern of CD equipment...This creation is about 3 3/4" high by about 3 1/4" wide (reminder there are 2 1/2 cm in an inch).
Made almost 100% from wood unless stated otherwise (I sometimes use tiny amounts of other things) I use paint and many finishes, often metallic, and make sure a lot of details shine through, often even the wood grain itself despite high tech themes. They maintain an often retro, sometimes even rustic look and feel to them, like an "olde worlde" toy or something (some more so than others ... I am told that surprisingly many do not even look like they are wood, but like metal or some manmade material... you can usually tell by the photos).
