@Dillybar777 thanks! i was gonna ask that
-
The song is Stars and Stripes Forever.
-
Its very noisy close up. I guess this was meant to be listened to far enough away that the mechanical noise wouldn't be heard?
-
was the reproducer made for left handed people, the thumb screw is on a different side than usual reproducers
-
Not only is the Auxetophone amazing, so is that performance of "Stars and Stripes Forever;" I personally usually find acoustic renditions of standard repertoire to be poorly performed; this would be way before early electrics by great music directors.
This is actually performed at that level; I wonder who it is?

Real High End!!!

Floored! Absolutely incredible.

back in 1905, there were retailed at $5000 US!

Actually, it was $500, as you can see in the original ad at 0:20 in the video. But that translates to well over $12,000 in today's dollars.

I have never heard one of these play before. Sounds great and very loud. Where did you get this one? Are thoses chocolate phonographs on the mantle?
Thanks

This came from the legendary EMI collection in London, auctioned in 1980 by Sotheby's. It had been in storage in their collection for at least 50 years by then. The phonographs on the mantle were indeed made by Stollwerck chocolate co,. both the 1903 and 1904 versions.

Sounds as good as my 1928 Victor Orthophonic. 1906 is unbelievable. Caruso would be awsome on this. I would let you have a 1908 caruso just to hear it on video.

I have a few great Caruso red label Victors, including "Over There." The sound really is incredible!
