As early as 1600, the King of Denmark had an early home music system installed in his castle. A 3-pipe system, moved the sound of musicians playing in the basement and into his “winter room”. The system was a forerunner of the “piped music” we hear today in public spaces like shopping malls, and the large sound systems in our private cars and homes.

I misunderstood Ole’s story and thought the king used the orchestra as a clock radio.
