ARABY Foxtrot 1926 Dobbris Saxophon Orchester

Araby (Am Nil, am blauen Nil)
Foxtrot (Horatio Nicholls)

Saxophon-Orchester Dobbri

Beka B.5482-II/33364W
Berlin, April 1926

Digitaler transfer ab 2:56

This is the flip-side of "Die schöne Josefine in der Badekabine)
Otto Dobrindt had been together with Dajos Bela the musical director of the great Lindström group in Germany. He recorded for Labels like Odeon, Beka and Parlophon(e).

First you hear (and see...) the record played on my homemade gramophone, after 2:56 you hear the digital transfer.

Dieser schöne Fox wurde im Mai 1926 vom Dobbri Orchester aufgenommen. Es handelt sich um eine frühe elektrische Aufnahme des Lindström Konzerns.
Im Spiegel der Platte ist ein "W" eingestempelt, der Lizenzvermerk für das Western Electric Aufnahmeverfahren.

Für die "Puristen", die digitale Bearbeitung von Schellacks nicht mögen, gibt es zunächst die Platte abgespielt auf meinem selbstgebauten Grammophon.
Im Anschluß hört ihr die digitale Variante.

[kirtley2010]

that horn really is amazing, how long did it take you to make and what did you make it out of

[formiggini]

@kirtley2010 The horn is made out of papermache & plaster.

All in all it took me c. a 1/2 year. The neck of the horn is thicker, c. 15 layers of

paper, glue & plaster. After one layer is dried c. 1 week, then the next layer, and so on.

All in all the weight of the horn is c. 10kg.

Gosh what fidelity! That horn really projects! Was that an option? I like the updated electric versions of what were acoustical recordings from the early 20's! In the biography of WW II journalist Ernie Pyle, it tells of when he attended Indiana Univ. in '23. They had a dance outdoors, but the phonograph was placed at a window in the upstairs chemistry dept. with a large funnel placed in front of the speaker with an effect I'm sure much like yours!

@VictrolaJazz With a 1950´s record, I may blow the neighbours out of the street if the window is open.... ;)

Yes, this beast is really loud!

[scala78]

I like your gramophone, ha ha ;-) even if I'm not very found of aucoustic sound. I love the records from that time, but can never stop wish, that the teqnique should have been better, But if it sounds like that it's very very good. And the melody; orental inspirated music from this time is like always wunderschön.

Tolle Nummer & sehr interessantes Video!

[JCJasion]

This was definitely an eletrical.
