Paul Whiteman with Bix: Lonely Melody

[wholzman2]

Sounds good for a real old record. With Bix playing you have a jewel. Keep it

preserved.

You just can't beat an Orthophonic player like this for sound, at least with the Victors. That's a beautiful machine, and it's nice to hear one of my favorite Bix records on it.

I'd love to be able to find an Orthophonic Credenza. There is a nearby phonograph collector here where I live in S/E Wisconsin who has the exact same machine as yours. Gary

Love the old music - classic, brilliant and timeless. Paul, Bix and so many others who we are lucky enough to still have their music with us. Wish I had saved my Grandmothers credenza type radio from 1923 and all her antiques....

Hi. I just wanted to mention, that the speed is a little slow. I compared it with the Garrard 301, and the compact disc. The Victrola is superb. A very exspensive model.

Hi -- Thanks for posting this! I remember playing this 78 a lot when I was a kid, haven't heard it in probably 30 years until tonight when I asked PandoraRadio to do Paul Whiteman for me, and it came up in the playlist. Delighted, because strangely enough just last week this melody -- and this particular recording of it, riffs intact -- got stuck in my head outta nowhere and I spent some time searching for it -- misremembering its name, tho. What's the flip side of this Victor? It's good, too.

[amdubin]

Thanks. Please see my description of the video (the full text)...

[steve89z]

thanks!

The Bix solo is brilliant! Thanks for taking me back in time, love that you are true to the era and the timeless music.

Looks like a Brass reproducer on that beautiful machine.Sounds Great.Did you ever try to rebuild the reproducer?It's a lot of fun trying to line up the little ball bearings.

[amdubin]

Yes, that's a brass one. It hasn't been rebuilt. I fortunately have some friends more adept at that skill than I...

That's a gorgeous leather tooled Credenza!!! I can tell we have a lot in common about our opinions of what a great phonograph is. I have a fairly early Credenza with the centered turntable and the brass reproducer. Marc.

I love Bix's Cornet Solo!

[Wdroster]

Brother found one on craiglists a few months back for $250, not with the tooled leather panels. He's been polishing it up and buying some replacement parts. The sound from those machines are awesome! Great looking machine!

[matutes76]

Beatiful machine!!

[amdubin]

I'm very happy I could share this tune (and phonograph) with others. It *is* a very rare machine, by the way. Apparently there are no surviving production numbers, but Bob Baumbach (of "Look For the Dog" fame) estimates that there were probably about 500 tooled leather panel Credenzas (8-30s) made. The finest I've seen is in the Eldridge Johnson Victrola Museum in Dover, Delaware.

[matutes76]

Hello, Beatiful , Which is the price of this Victrola? Thanks and Best Regards

[kspm01]

Fantastic tune, especially on this brilliant Ortophonic!

[Holland1935]

What a great tune of Pual Witheman. And with Bix Beiderbecke!!! A man that died of a poor life... His parents did not listen to his records!!! That is so poor... But he made a great music as I can hear again on one of his or somebody else his records!!! And what a lovelly machine you have. I think it is a very VERY rare machine. Thanks!

[jurek46pink]

Great thing !

[fuzzbear6240]

Great Stuff A. What a beautiful looking and sounding machine!!!!!!

[CeltsCam]

Lovely Victor Credenza!
