Enrico Caruso: Tu non mi vuoi più bene - on Edison Home Phonograph

This is the latest reproduction issue of a 1903 cylinder recording by Enrico Caruso: Tu non mi vuoi più bene. Ready to be played on your acoustic phonograph! The cylinder is an indestructible type and not made from wax. Played here on an 1900 Edison Suitcase Home Phonograph with Model B reproducer and 24" brass horn. Visit www.berlinphonographworks.com for further information.

The music of this Italian stornello was composed by Antonio Pini-Corsi

What is the difference in sound quality between the Edison home and Edison home suitcase?

[phonatic]

There is no difference as long as you're using the same reproducer and horn. There are some cosmetic differences such as the design of the topworks and the wooden (suit)case, of course. I upgraded mine with a larger carriage eye recently. With a Diamond B reproducer is does sound like an Amberola, all in one.

How do you make a mold for these records?

Thanks

[phonatic]

The master mold is made by a galvanic process, basically similar to what the early factories did.

Incredible!

This is the first time I hear this recording in a transfer without the hack at the To non mi VUOI più ben,in the end.

It is easy to understand that this recording earlier has been pointed out as the first recording of Caruso`s voice. Studenti udite! seems more advanced technically. Though I think Caruso is singing this simple song by his baritone colleague Pini - Corsi witn great enthusiasm,especially heard in this great transfer.

You can mold cylinders. Early cylinders were not molded. In 1902 cylinders were coppied in molds using heat to expand a blank inside the mold and press the grooves into the record. I was wondering how they could press the grooves into a hard indestructable type record.

Thanks

You can't. That's why they didn't use the phonograph format so long.
