    This machine represents the peak of acoustic phonograph production.

    It was the most expensive and top of the Monarch range.
    Captain Scott took a Senior Monarch on his ill-fated Antarctic expedition (1910 - 1911).

    The  Horn is 24" Diameter by 23" Long. 

    Completamente in mogano sia la cassa che la tromba, rappresenta il culmine del progresso del grammofono a tromba.
