Congratulations!
I had not heard anything
for a while about your recording project. Nothing much
since you got the shaver working.
The regular stock Edison 10-panel morning glory
horn works sort of ok for certain recording situations.
If you want, tune in to my web site and give a listen
to the live recordings I made of the Illinois 33rd
Regiment Volunteer marching band. That is a civil war
reenactment band. They use real period instruments!
For all of those recordings, the cylinder machine
was placed on a table up front in a small auditorium.
The band was up in front. They were not crowded
around the horn by me as they would have been had
I had the opportunity to do so. This was a regular
public performance.
I recorded all of those cylinders using the the
Edison Standard 10-panel morning glory horn.
Anyway, yes, the 10-panel horn does work, but with
certain limitations. For close work, it tends to
sound a bit muffled and far away. It's ok though
in a large room, somewhat far away from the source.
Again, nice work and keep experimenting!
