The Music Master company was formed in 1908 making wooden horn speakers for phonographs.
In 1922 they began making radio speaker horns.
They planned a complete line of radios for 1925 and signed contracts with several radio manufacturers to build the sets. Unfortunately, one of their primary manufacturers went bankrupt forcing the Music Master Corporation into bankruptcy in May 1926.
