Word: The hazard of phonographs

 Futility Closet 

“Wherever there is a phonograph the musical instrument is displaced. The time is coming when no one will be ready to submit himself to the ennobling discipline of learning music. Everyone will have their ready-made or ready-pirated music in their cupboards.” — John Philip Sousa, New York Morning Telegraph, June 12, 1906
