trusted experience
In 2014, Jon was approached to complete an important repair to Sir Edward Elgar’s HMV 511 Gramophone. Elgar was an English composer, many of whose works have entered the British and international classical concert repertoire, and his HMV 511 Gramophone is of cultural significance. Using new parts sourced from the original UK supplier to HMV, Jon completed the work pro bono, and the gramophone was restored to full working order. The gramophone is currently on public display at The Firs: Elgar’s Birthplace, owned by the National Trust. Find out more in the video below:
