The lengthy process of creating a Grammy Award is derived from a tradition that is hundreds of years old. The statuette is cast out of Grammium — a custom alloy, developed by John Billings, the craftsman who creates, by hand, the lustrous gold gramophone statue that is presented to Grammy recipients.
