While I think this is cool, wow!, this reeks of hipsterism. I’m cringing.

Hmm, a vegan who plays old timely 78s. Does she know that those old pre-vinyl records were made of shellac?

If she loves 78s she really shouldn’t be doing this. She should be using a modern stylus with a diamond tip.

Super cool idea and I imagine very popular for weddings. I’m curious as to whether she amplifies the gramophones — they aren’t very loud and would get quickly drowned out by people chatting at dinner.

I wonder if this could be done with a cylinder record?

I’ve managed something between this and newer technology by using vintage gramophone horns but fitting them with bluetooth speakers: https://www.instagram.com/p/BqeBZArhOKZ/
I remember a print ad Tommy Boy Records ran in CMJ and/or The Source back in the late 90’s, that showed a guy in a bowler hat cutting and mixing on two victrolas with the caption “Down Since Day One”-- quick google search isnt bringing it up.
A strict vegan does not eat or use animal products.

That’s a pretty tiny technicality given that these records are all 80+ years old and playing them in no way generates demand for new shellac records.
