“The sound quality of the featured cylinder is way above what I was expecting.”

Believe it or not, the cylinder records often sound even better played on an original phonograph than through a modern loudspeaker. The sound projects much better from a large horn. The cylinder’s fidelity improved over the years, reaching its peak in 1912. I have been collecting them nearly 50 years, so I have a few opinions about them!

Just verified with Google that the original
“His Master’s Voice” has the dog listening
to a cylinder, instead of the later windup
record player.
