Im getting closer to solving the sound issues. the speed is off because the battery for the motor is weak, and it records slower than it plays back due to the recording weights
lame salad annie... wax cylinder stylus's recorded up n down not side to side.. those asian put a gramophone cutter on a wax cylinder recorder...... IM SOOOOO BUYING ONE
So, I notice that your cup is installed between two adjustable counter parts. Did you have tried to cut on a cola or beer aluminium container? I'm sure that you should get great results!
I just bought one, and I can't figure out to stop the needle from skipping. My cup is always slightly wobbly, and the needle tends to jump.
I found that if I really wail into it I can hear myself much more clearly on the playback, but I literally have to scream or opera sing at the top of my lungs -- and it still skips. It skips so much that I can only hear about one second of my voice at a time on playback.
so ur battery just sucked or with a new battery it wouldve sounded fine???

@wusundowma Maybe the conical shape of the cup causes the stylus to move toward the smaller radius? Will a beer can fit on it?

Suggestions?

Hi, I was thinking of getting one of these, it's the Gakken phonograph right?
Is it that foam insert that's stopping it from making loads of noise? I saw a video elsewhere that has loads of crackles and hissing from the cup!
