Steve the cylinder you show in the photos you posted sure appears to have a recording on it. When you blow up the photo you can see the groves.

Yes, that's correct. I haven't listened to it in a long time, but it is definitely a home recording. Unfortunately, I don't currently have a machine to play it on.rgordon939 wrote: Sat May 03, 2025 9:26 pm Steve the cylinder you show in the photos you posted sure appears to have a recording on it.
