If I might be permitted to wander today to the hill to watch the scene below. This was a song my great-great aunt Hattie use to sing to me long ago when I was young. And now I am aged and grey - though not quite as aged and grey as she was then - she having been born in 1884 and I now just a year shy of 70. It is hard to explain how many years one person can bridge without having lived them by having known people who did. Even more astonishing was that her mother -my great, great grandmother - with whom I shared a birthday and who turned 100 when I turned 9 said to me that day, "When I was born Abraham Lincoln was president!" So while I usually think of this song in a more sentimental turn of the century style, I always enjoy hearing it in any form.

Lovely 🌹🌹🌹 🎶🎶🎶 Thank You

Come to think of it, neither have I! Great novelty tune I’ve liked for many years…Waring’s Pennsylvanians were one of the ‘20s and ‘30s best bands.

What an interesting and odd device to look right into like this. Reminds me of some sort of sea creature's gaping maw or something.

that acoustic phonograph actually is putting out some discernible bass! i wonder how it would have sounded with an acoustically recorded 78?

Only a horn in the picture📯😳

Victrola customers must have been amazed at such improved fidelity from their previous machines. They would have been even more amazed at your 80 Hz exponential horn.

LOVE the Royal Canadians! I saw Guy Lombardo live in 1977, about 4-5 months before he passed away…what a showman and what a band.

This is awesome! Once I have the space for it, I'd love to get a setup like this and play some classics. Nothing beats the hiss and crackle of an old vinyl!

Hi

💖💖💖💖

Stuff a sock in it

Nice!

Large horn📯

Excelente sound, thank for THE video, 5 Star this video.

superb as always! thanks for sharing

I vote for the 80hz

Such a deal! Tuba solo and quite a reed section. One of lots of great versions of this fine tune.

Lovely version of that tune 😮

I'd be interested in hearing how room size affects the sound of these huge horns. I can't imagine a smaller room would be as effective for transmitting the lower frequencies. Great machine and excellent sound from both of them!

the bigger Of course lower but you're losing that mid range and top end. a approach you could take I've done it with speakers you can put a bullet in the horn like a teardrop, and how wide it is to the sides of the horn on the horizontal you don't need to go in the vertical will determine frequency response, another approach what I haven't tried it might do the same thing is to put a smaller horn in? you are increasing the surface area what is good and having another horn will give you the top frequencies as well maybe an inch throat opening, it might work better and then the bullet. I'd say you want it fairly close to the sides of the major horn maybe quarter of an inch, you need to experiment and just three brackets and screw it from the outside of the horn. When experimenting you could place it on a stand and move it in and out because that will have a bearing as well on frequency response and the size as well. I don't think you need to make the horn or bullet long about 3-5 inches. it should work very well when you've got it right

Wow…what a difference…amazing.

I think 80HZ best but both nice horns. Could live with either.

The 80 Hz horn adds more bass weight than I expected from just another 20 Hz of extension.

Fabulous!

Love the xylophone ❤

King Oliver , he was one of a long line of jazz cornetists in the 1920's ❤

HOT STUFF !!!

Wa, Wa, Wa, what a tune!😁 My thanks for posting this utterly fantastic kick-start to my day!💖

I love this song! One of my favorites. 😊

delightful!

I tried to tick "Like" but it would not register.. Keep up the good work!

Lovely Song - what a Fine Job You Have Done - homemade horn - What joy to hear the likes of the big dance bands - Bing Crosby, Al Bowlly, Sam Browne, Elise Carlise - I do not need to go on - what a treat

Great rendition by a classic west coast band. First time I’ve heard this. Thank you ☺️

Very nice arrangement of this classic

One my first ever 78s🥲🥲🥲still love it to this day great upload

Very nice. I have a different version of this, but the lyrics are clearer on your one. Thanks 👍 😀

Vocalist "Arthur Fields" is a pseudonym for the vocalist who is really IRVING KAUFMAN. I've come across that ''nom de disque'' on, for example, a record of "Love, Your Magic Spell is Everywhere" credited to the orchestra leader BEN SELVIN.

Nice real nice wow 1917 107 years ago, probably more horses on the road than automobiles ha ha.

Brilliant sound quality, both loud and clear as a bell! I wonder if you have a minute to explain the significance of a 'Burmese Colour Needle' on a gramophone? Are they of a better quality for sound reproduction, or perhaps easier on the shellac discs so as not to wear them out any more quickly? Cheers!

I have a new granddaughter named Nora . I no doubt will be singing this to her someday .

Hot stuff !!! Thank you most heartily 😊

Just got this exact disc at an estate sale. Didn’t have the gear to play it. Love that you have these recordings.

I broke my copy, very upset

I wonder about turning the horn around and put it facing the wall ?? you're going to get reinforcement from the corner more give it a go right tight up to the wall

Thanks for sharing❤❤❤❤❤

What great sound for a record over 100 years old !!!!

Don Bestor was on Jack Benny's radio show for one season I belive.

!Dios mío. Que música más hermosa. Magnífica banda. Gratos recuerdos. What a voice. Agradecido! 😊

Wonderful !! Thank you for this rarity !!
