A few days ago I had the pleasure to watch a performance of Ibsen's "Wild 
Duck" where a well working toy gramophone was used in the second act. The 
music played on it was typical for the turn of the century and, as far as I 
could see, 7'' discs were used.
It's just that "Wild Duck" was published in 1884 - in the original script 
Hjalmar Ekdal plays the flute to cheer himself up.
