Of course you can use, my name is Alec Proidakov, 'Horseman' my old school nickname. If interesting, you can listen record Eugenia Mantelli from my colection (Bettini cylinder, Aria Paggio from 'Les Huguenots' = Marston CD 'Meyerbeer on Records, 1899-1913' - 53009-2)

P.S. Question: You are intersting numbers "Edison Concert" (machines for 5 inch cylinders)? I have two:

1. Ser. # C-1172 (ser. # is on a raised boss), motor # 6029, In Front-Drawer Cabinet, Bettini Attachment.

2. Ser. # C-7303, motor # 13632, In 'New Style' Cabinet.

I'm not conducting research for the Concert, but I can help date yours if you're interested. According to National Phonograph Company sales data, No.1172 left the factory about November 1899, and No.7303 left the factory about October 1901.

Sure, Chuck. Concert No.644 shipped about July 1899.

George P.

Thank you, Alistair!

May I have your last name for future acknowledgements?

George P.

Well George while you're at it could you date my two Concerts, C1455 and a later one C7070
Thank you for your time and info, it's very much appreciated.

Best Regards,
Larry Crandell

Happy to help, Larry.

Concert No.1455 left the factory about November 1899, and Concert No.7070 was shipped about October 1901. These are coincidentally the same months as Alec's machines, but the different examples shipped toward the beginnings/ends of the respective months.
