live cylinder recording with Edison studio recorder.

Post by edisonphonoworks »

This is taken at the Homer Harvest Days. It is a bluegrass recording, of "Ice Cream With the Enemy" by Miles Over Mountains. What you can't hear well in the video is the fact that the upright bass DID record. The recorder has one C style gasket on the bottom and then rubber cement seals it together, and is baked in an oven to slightly burn the rubber. The diaphragm is a two stepped glass one, .0075 33mm and a .008", 15mm step.

I want to mention that the playback diaphragm in both the Lincoln and Miles Over Mountains recordings is with the Phonoboy playback diaphragm. I like it, it sounds good, nice highs and lows. On the Miles over Mountains recording, when I used listening tubes, the diaphragm brought out the low bass of the bass fiddle (Or Double Bass Violin for classical music lovers.)
