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!
I’d never heard of these until you posted this. I guess I always assumed people used flat records of some sort.
