EWC were possibly the largest cylinder phonograph manufacturer in Germany. They were based in Cologne. EWC produced phonographs not only under their own name, but also manufactured for other companies, such as UK Lambert.
Some of the earlier models were quite unique, though the bulk of the later models were somewhat Graphophone type Q clones, though with the motor copmpletely enclosed in a metal casing. Typical for EWC Q type modely is their black finish with red and gold coloured lining.
