I ❤️ vintage radios & microphones

If you’re familiar with me, you probably know that I’m kind of nostalgic (even for the periods I haven’t experienced myself). That’s why I love vintage radios & microphones. The first picture of this post is a microphone I bought ages ago. It doesn’t work anymore but it’s among my most cherished belongings, along with a vintage radio I inherited from my grand mother.

There’s something really special in these old – not so – mass produced appliances. A singular aesthetic you don’t find anymore in contemporary devices, in my opinion. I’ve curated a gallery of vintage microphone and radio illustrations to share my passion for these relics of the past.

Enjoy this journey into our musical heritage (if you’re passionate about music history, I urge you to visit The Musical Museum near Kew Bridge in London. An absolute gem!)
