The VV-VI at School
Update: I appreciate the replies and will add "Whistler and His Dog" to my plans for a short lesson with 3rd Graders on Monday.

Re: The VV-VI at School
That is such a great idea to offer classes or presentations like this to Elementary School kids. They seem to be interested, so you must have done a good job capturing their attention. Well done!

Good job!! I am sure these children were fascinated. Could inspire a future hobbiest or two. You are an inspiration in the giving of your time! Steve

How nice! I see you have your 2-55 with you also. How did the kids like the presentation? I hope a kid or two come out of that lesson with an interest in phonographs.

I think this is fantastic! Great machine to use and your program sounds excellent (although I do second BigShot's suggestion of Whistler and his Dog. I use the electric batwing version of that for demos often mostly because of the great sound quality)

Re: The VV-VI at School
This reminds me-- I have recently been pondering that the MP3 generation must think it very curious that early music players once came with an oil can. Try squirting that into your ear buds.
Nice job!

Re: The VV-VI at School
I've been thinking about doing demonstrations at my local town's museum and maybe school. I've been asked to put stuff into their museum but I simply can't do that lol. If you don't mind I have a few questions about how you went about the demonstration and how long it took etc. did you start off with a short history description and go from there?

Re: The VV-VI at School
I did a few presentations with both my portable and my VV-IV in high school, and more than a few people were intrigued by how it worked. And then I took my portable to college and when we had a power outage, I has a pretty good sized group sitting around listening to big band. If I even got one person to gain any interest in this old technology, I call it a success.

Re: The VV-VI at School
The students enjoyed the lesson. It was presented several times. A student made this "card" to thank me for my efforts.
