Excelsior Cylinder Phonograph [www.cylinder.de]

Reproducer rebuilt and serviced by: The Cylinder Archive [www.cylinder.de]

This ca. 1903-06 was made by the Excelsiorwerke Cöln (EWC), Köln, Germany.

Here it is playing an Edison 2-minute wax cylinder "Bunker Hill" #9025 from 1905, performed by the Edison Military Band.

The sound was picked up with studio microphone which was placed in front of the horn for constant audio quality while moving the camera.

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. :(

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.

Amazing of classic western tune music!!!

[camasquil]

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

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
