I have the best results when the cylinder is in a heated room, or had a heat lamp on it just before recording. If you wait about 5 minutes after recording before you play it back, it lets the grooves "cure" a bit. Your recdording came out much better than most I have heard, good work
Repent and trust in Jesus. He's the only way. We deserve Hell because we've sinned. Lied, lusted stolen, etc. But God sent his son to die on the cross and rise out of the grave. We can receive forgiveness from Jesus. Repent and put your trust in him. John 3:16 Romans 3:23❤😊❤😊❤
sounds extremley good! surprising how well old technology like this works, makes you really appreciate these, and the effort eddison pt into making this, great tutorial!

I notice that the blank appears to be of black wax, as used commercially from about 1902 onwards. There are those who say that this material is too hard and will quickly wear out the sapphire cutting-stylus; most modern blanks (there are still two or three people who make them, I believe) follow the softer brown-wax formula as used in the 1890s. Also, it is often said that the ambient temperature during recording should be about 80° F (26.5° C) or alternatively that the cylinder should be warmed immediately before recording; some people do this by running the blank on the machine with an old-fashioned incandescent bulb positioned closely over it, others heat it with an electric hair-dryer, while I have found good results from using a microwave (four bursts of 25 seconds each, turning the cylinder end-over-end between each burst and the next). However, perhaps this heating is not necessary when one is talking or singing directly into the mouth of the horn or speaking-tube. Certainly this recording is very distinct throughout, even when the voice is at normal level. The point about ensuring that the recorder weight has some free play is vitally important and I have not seen it brought out so clearly anywhere else.
The cylinder is actually dark, brown wax, that they used as a dictation cylinder. For a very short time, Thomas Edison made 4 inch long dictation cylinders which are superb recording cylinders. They are not hard wax like the black wax records.
Where can I find the recording bit? I have the reproducer but I can seem to find a recording piece anywhere. Are there no modern after market suppliers out there?
Repent and trust in Jesus. He's the only way to Heaven. We've all sinned and deserve Hell. Sins like lying, lusting, etc. Repent and trust only in Jesus, and you will be saved! You can be saved because he took the punishment for our sins on himself when he died on the cross, just like someone can pay your speeding fine in court, and you get off free. Romans 3:23 John 3:16❤
Does the rubber coupler have any significance or is it simply the means by which you are able to couple the horn? In other words, does it do something acoustically in some way? Your setup sounded very sensitive and the surface noise was very minimal - quite impressive! Did you heat the cylinder before attempting the recording or was it simple ay room temperature - say 20 deg C? Cheers.
The rubber coupling keeps things air-tight, but I try to get the horn and adapter CLOSE together, so that sound energy isn’t wasted vibrating the rubber, because the loss in volume is VERY significant, even from a small gap! I usually do not heat the cylinders, but the newer ones I heat to 85degrees with a 60 watt light bulb.
Awesome demonstration! I have a recorder with an intact sapphire, a brown wax blank, but when I record (using a regular horn), the playback is significantly muffled. Any advice on how I can improve this? Or scat I can check/alter? I'm trying to use this to make a recording with my history class, would love a better result before e try it.
I have a blank or two that i can spare, they are newly made. As far as a recorder, I don’t have one available….I keep 3 for all of my recording projects. But in the future I might have one. My direct email is restorationarts@gmail.com
Hello my dear friend, how do I get the complete audio output part? I have a device and the part is broken. Please help me in this matter. Thank you very much and appreciate it❤❤❤
It’s possible that your recorder is incorrect or that the record has been shaved too much, or that your recorder cutter assembly is badly adjusted. Send pics of it to restorationarts@gmail.com

@@ThomasAlva Thank you! That accounts for the dark colour.
Hello my dear friend, how do I find the needle that works for him? Greetings to you
Any kind of record player/gramophone/phonograph needle can be jimmy rigged to work as long as it’s an older one I think.

I keep recorders in stock, contact me directly RestorationArts@gmail.com
I was hoping you weren’t going to recite Mary had a little lamb and I was pleasantly surprised:)
Very well made and very well explained! :) Good job! :D
Superb Demonstration great UA-cam videos. 🎅👍🎅👌

idk much about this tech but just judging on what he did a bigger horn could have better sound, and speaking loudly. I want to make one of these lol
How does one acquire one of these things?
Hi. Do you happen to know where I can find a recorder and the cylinder blanks?

Where did you get the strobe disc for the side of the mandrel from?
Hello my dear friend, how do I get the complete audio output part? I have a device and the part is broken. Please help me in this matter. Thank you very much and appreciate it❤❤❤
Came out good. 👍
When I drop my recorder, the cutter is still about 1/8" off of the blank. Do you know what I'm dong wrong? I'm completely new to this. Please help.

Do you offer any custom wax cylinder production?
I can record anything ya want. As long as it is two minutes or less.
@@ThomasAlva do you have an email for further information?
