Kanazawa Phonograph Museum, Phonograph museum in Kanazawa, Japan
The Kanazawa Phonograph Museum displays 540 phonographs and 20,000 SP record discs in a dedicated building located in the Ishikawa Prefecture.
The museum exhibits a collection assembled by Hiroshi Yokaichiya over 50 years, including phonographs from the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa periods of Japan.
Three daily demonstrations present the mechanical sound production of different phonograph models, allowing visitors to experience historical music reproduction methods.
