That is wonderful Mr. Turkeydoodler !! You will able to play all of those wonderful 2 minute black wax cylinders on that early Standard. As I am sure you know the "A" was produced as a two minute machine, as it was before the inception of the 4 minute Edison Amberol Cylinders. However, many early Phonograph owners were given the opportunity to convert there "A"'s to a a combination 2 minute and 4 minute machine. Will yours have this important FEATURE???Otherwise you can't play Cylinder.

Thanks for watching. If you like Billy Murray, I have several others posted as well including: "Under the Anheuser Bush, I'd like to meet the man that wrote the Merry Widow Waltz, Give my Regards to Broadway, and Come take a Trip in my Airship" among others. Happy New Year,

Good rendition! As is often the case, the Edison 4-minute rendition is longer than Murray's Victor recording of the same song. Also, there were no bones in the Victor rendition. It seems that Edison sometimes added an instrumental interlude featuring the bones in an effort to lengthen the recording.

Good observation Mr. E.S. The folks at Edison had to find ways of extending these songs for the 4 minutes, either with additional verses or monologues or in this case an instrumental interlude. I believe this video also shows, how much of a "space taker upper" these early cylinder machines were, when the horn is hung from them to play the record. It shows why the Cygnet horn was such a welcome innovation for those who were still partial to Edison's Cylinders.

with a horn like that on it, is it not easy for the machine to tip over, it seems very unstable with it on

[Turkeydoodlers]

Can't wait to get my standard A machine, looking forward to it

Your video is very helpful to me. I have just received my freshly restored Edison Model D from PHONOPHAN of Henrietta, New York. I have not completely unpacked it yet. Your video is a lot of information that shows me how the crane hooks up to the front of the machine and how to adjust the speed. Thank you for posting this video. Did you make any more featuring the Edison Standard Model D?

I've been doing a ton of research about the era from about 1880-1920, and your videos and music uploads have been SO HELPFUL in getting a feel for the music of the era.

I just wanted to thank you for making my research so much fun.

Is that the American quartet with Billy Murray singing this??????.

Nice phonograph! I like the Mourning Glory horn! The horn kind of makes it look like a Fireside!
