One of my favorites. Great for showing what the system is capable of (and great for testing reproducers!)

One of the few announced Blue Amberols, with the announcement by Constantino himself. This one is from wax Amberol masters.

Thanks for posting!

Thanks yes it's certainly a good way to test your reproducer.

I don't think it was from a wax mold. I believe it was direct.

You are correct, according to Sutton's books. Bad assumption on my part. I wasn't aware Constantino had ever directly recorded Blue Amberols. Makes the announcement even more unusual.

I know Constantino recorded quite a few on wax. I've never seen one though, much less owned one.

Wow that was certainly a loud and clear recording! Surprised it didn't make the glass rattle in your windows
