In search of an Edison Cylinder Recording Stylus
Posted: Wed Sep 25, 2024 9:14 am
Hi all!
I am a producer on a documentary film that explores foghorns, memory, and the science of sound, produced by a Maine based film-company, and being shot in Maine!
We are gearing up for our next shoot (which begins on Sept 30th-October 3rd), and would really like to include an Edison phonograph cylinder. We are lucky to have found the phonograph (and blank wax cylinders), but we are lacking the recorder stylus needed to record sound.
I wonder if anyone might have one! Or perhaps know someone that does? Or where to look? Either way, I would be so grateful for any guidance.
Thank you all!
