acousticedison
To provide examples of all types of historic musical taste, mostly from the acoustic recording and some early electrics designed to play on mechanical phonographs. I will try to provide music that if given a chance though listening will provide audio pictures of what our ancestors loved as much as well appreciate some of the music of our time. Its a glimpse of the time before you needed a 50 page brochure to operate your music producer of choice. A simple turn of the crank and a horn to project the sound and your stepping back in time, often to nearly a hundred years ago. I hope you will enjoy some of the more obscure selections, melody is always a gift to the listener when your able to hear it. I have concentrated on Edison for now as I find it has the most realistic sound produced acoustically. Unfortunately some periods of production were effected by the World War 1 as well as quality control issues during that time. I am also the producer of the True Tone Diaphragms.
