  • I have a 33rp lp album titled "1900 in Stereo" , The various selections were played on a laser-using phonograph with electrical amplifier. The output was scratch-filtered and even re-routed as stereo. There may even be some tampering with fidelity. The music is quite good, but doesn't really compare to the authentic flavor of these old hulks of machinery.

  • Like others here, I'm very much impressed with the sound of your machine.

  • Youtube isnt going to copyright this huh?

  • Amazing of classic western tune music!!!

  • The last part of the song is the music of "The preacher and the bear". That song was very popular sung by Collins

  • Very nice! I have that record but I can't play it because, sadly it's been eaten up by mold.

  • Don't worry, mine has a hairline crack, not audible but it's there and rendering the cylinder worthless. :(

  • Wow! The sound is incredible! I have gotten quite used to the sound of my Edison B Standard from 1905, so this surprised me. This trumps every machine I've ever heard! (Which isn't very many, but...) Thanks for posting!  Best,

  • at the end it sounded like preacher and the bear

  • Very nice phonograph and great sound! Looks very similar to the columbia q.

    Thanks

  • great sound

  • That machine sounds awesome, I have never seen an Excelsior in action. That is a treat. I love Edison Band cylinders. This excelsior really has power and can pump out some great volume at a very even speed.

  • Very nice sound. I make wax cylinder blanks.

  • They still make them? Wow! What do they use them for now? Converting music from worn out cylinders to knew ones?

  • I record new and period music onto cylinders , and sell blanks, It is a hobby so, I sell only what I make, I do not accept additional orders. you can go to my Youtube and see how the blanks are processed. I made a few thousand cylinders for collectors from 2000 to now.

  • WOW!!!! This sound is very well!!! Thank you for post this video with this historic record!

  • Most cylinders were recorded using only the direct energy from the sound waves from the singer/performers voice onto a master cylinder, which was then molded into a supply of black wax cylinders.

  • Phonatic, Wonderful phonograph! It's such a treat to see it in action. thank you. Regards, J.
