How do you restore a cylinder record?

I use software, diamond cut dc8 and clickrepair. I use an electric reproducer, too.

Robert - Thank you for sharing these. I really like "The Phantom Brigade". Great bass on the recording.

Oh, I see.

I like the Street Piano Medley on Edison 2M.I told a friend of mine who has a barrel piano about this.edisonplayer

Those sound great!

Although I don't have the best ear I'd have to guess the stradella overture might benefit from another go-round in the process?

(And is it just me or is the King Cotton March way over processed, makes it sound like the Phantom Brigade?)

Thank you for sharing your hard work so generously!!
