Thanks for posting a number of examples of concert cylinders
The announcement seems very slow on this one
As it looks like the machine seems to be running at a constant speed and does so on the other videos the speed change may be explained by this being an acoustic dubbing from a standard cylinder with the playback machine running up from a standing start ( possibly an electric machine) as this effect cant happen with a pantographic dubbing.
is that record actually from the gold moulded record?
I understood that for a time after the introduction of the gold molding process and the end or concert cylinder production the records were dubbed from the molded records.
The dubbing machines normally went from large cylinder to small cylinder I wonder if Edison could not be bothered to adapt one in reverse and resorted to horn to horn dubbing.
Marcs excellent transcription has the same orchestral accompaniment and outro music at the end seems to match
Anyone know when the catalogue number 9246 was issued ?
