Hello,
Does anyone know if Peter Dilg, Wizard Cylinder Record Company is still making the 5" resin Concert Cylinders??? I cannot find a web site for him??
thanks
Pete

I don't think Peter makes any of the recently offered STD or Concert cylinders. He has them made in England through Vulcan Records http://www.vulcanrecords.com. They can be purchased directly through Vulcan if you cannot get a hold of Peter.

As you probably already know, these resin cylinders are FANTASTIC! I own many of both formats.

Regards,
Scott

Like Scott, I have both Peter's versions and Vulcan's. The new Vulcan Concerts are being made with a brown resin that looks very authentic. (Previous ones were black.) You can leave it on a mandrel without worrying about cracking, dust, wear, or any other dangers and it looks 100% real. And the sound quality is outstanding.

But I've noticed that he no longer lists two of the four titles he used to offer. And one of the existing ones is out of stock (presumably temporarily). You may want to drop him an email to find out if he will be offering "Liberty Bell March" again. In "brown wax" that is a sensational record for demonstrating any Concert machine.

Where are you seeing Peter's list Rene?

Info on Wizard Cylinder Record Company There may be an updated link somewhere on this board but I couldn't find it.

Sorry, I wasn't clear: I meant Vulcan's site, not Peter Dilg. Vulcan used to list 4 Concert titles, there are now only 2.
