Sounds very good to me. I assume you are using a standard reproducer?

Sounds excellent! I realized I have an alternate "take", because the banjo work after the vocal is different on mine. Your diaphragm puts out the tuba notes very nicely, btw

That sounds pretty good and I'm :D kind of a fussy Edison Diamond disc nut. Have you posted pics of how you constructed the diaphragm? Did you use shellac as a stiffener? You can see you've piqued my interest!

Yes; it's shellac infused rice paper with a cork stiffener.

This version is a vast improvement in appearance for sure and most likely in sound. Keep up the good work.
