Gramophone

"(obsolete) A brand of phonograph that introduced disk records." So it's the w:Gramophone Company? Ultimateria 00:04, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Might now be attestable in accordance with standards for company/brand names, because of genericized gramophone. DCDuring TALK 13:49, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

I only know it as a classical music magazine. Would that be OK? SemperBlotto 13:56, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

That's still a brand. Maybe that sense would meet brand attestation in some context. DCDuring TALK 14:01, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Also, the Grammies are (or were) short for Gramophones Purplebackpack89 ^{(Notes Taken) (Locker)} 02:18, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Gramophone

Rfv-sense: (obsolete) A brand of phonograph that introduced disk records. If it's what I think it is, it needs cites in accordance with WT:BRAND. -- Liliana • 11:09, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

This was originally a trademark, but I'm more used to seeing it in lower case in modern use. -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 19:48, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

I don't see any capitalized uses that don't specify that the term is being used in relation to a product of a gramophone company. bd2412 T 01:31, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
