The Missouri Waltz performed by Jaudas' Society Orchestra recorded on an Edison Amberol 4 minute cylinder and played on an original Edison Amberola X phonograph. This fine machine was made around 1913 and used a diamond stylus.
Ahhh they don't make home entertainment systems like that anymore ;)

  • Edison continued to market "Blue Amberol" cylinders until his company went out of the record business in November 1929. Like the "78", "LP" and "45" reproducers [and eventually, "CD"] of today, this, too, has disappeared from the "center" of most American homes. Who knows what kind of "audio entertainement" people will be listening to, almost a century from now?

  • fantastic machine

  • It's funny man... I'm 27 and couldn't agree with you more. One of my best friends is an Edison phonograph historian. I believe he has one of these. The Amberola X with a diamond stylus is a VERY rare machine.

  • Kind of nice to see a none amberola 30 on here.
