Let me know what you think.

Sounds very good to me. I assume you are using a standard reproducer?

Correct, and thank you.

Sounds excellent! I realized I have an alternate "take", because the banjo work after the vocal is different on mine. Your diaphragm puts out the tuba notes very nicely, btw

Thanks, I'd love to hear yours. Have you uploaded it?

That sounds pretty good and I'm kind of a fussy Edison Diamond disc nut. Have you posted pics of how you constructed the diaphragm? Did you use shellac as a stiffener? You can see you've piqued my interest!

Yes; it's shellac infused rice paper with a cork stiffener.

This version is a vast improvement in appearance for sure and most likely in sound. Keep up the good work.
