U.S. Everlasting GRAND OPERA Cylinder #5458 - Madchen mit dem roten Mundchen (Franz; Ausgewalte Lieder), sung by Emil Muench.

Played on a 1911 Edison Standard Model D Phonograph.

In 29 years of collecting, this is the first U.S. Everlasting GRAND OPERA cylinder I have come across.
I don't have the original box, so I am using an Edison Opera box to store it.

Enjoy, Bob S.

Really clear!

That's a diamond B reproducer I'm guessing?

Yes Clay,

I tried it with my Model "O" reproducer, and the singer had more voice than the diaphragm could handle!
It sounded best with the diamond "B".

Not bad at all ! Wish there were more opera on cylinders...
