Wanted Musicians!

Post by edisonphonoworks »

Ever wanted to experience what it was like to make cylinders in the 1905-1912 era? Looking to form a regular house band. For now by the round recordings. We will make direct recorded masters which command higher prices than dubbing records. Dubbs can be made from a digital recording, though those sell at a lower price. (we will make a digital recording along side the acoustic ones.

1. No need to order recording blanks,Recording blanks made in house.
2. No time limit to "get it right"
3. You would use an actual Studio recording head, used to make Edison master records in the 1910s.
Contact off list.

Two parts of an Edison studio lathe. The 97 ⅓ feedscrew for making master records.  This one is chain driven and actually used to make Edison Amberol and Blue Amberol masters. It matches the one on the Studio lathe displayed at Thomas Edison Historical Park.) and is marked 97 ⅓ (looking for a junked Edison triumph A topworks where the left hand bushing, casting has broken, so that a flywheel may be added to the recording lathe.)
