The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hello,
I am thinking of ordering the three Concert Cylinders that Vulcan offers on their U.K. web site. Can anyone comment on the quality of these cylinders and if they fit the Concert size mandrels properly. If anyone has ordered from their web site did you have to pay any unexpected import duties or courier fees???
thanks
Pete

I can't speak for the concert series but I have ordered several cylinders from them and the quality was very good. All I paid was what they quoted me up front, no duty or anything like that.

This is an indication of how good the regular cylinders can sound, electrically recorded.

I've gotten several of these and they all fit the mandrel perfectly. If you are concerned about proper fit for concerts, just ask him. I'm sure he'll tell you.
