Re: [ARSCLIST] unknown celluloid cylinder
Soeaking of which, I have an Edison blue amberol, 3365, "Long Boy" by S.
Porter.
It appears identical to most others of this type, plaster center, except
that, though with the usual top and a 1/4" blank bottom, it is only 3 5/8"
long, not the ususal 4 3/16".
The bottom is flush, not angled.
What's going on here?

what system they used, in what way they arrived at something. I do not do
that. I think that the matter of the way by which one arrived at something
is, for the listeners, unimportant. What matters is the final result, that
is the work itself." -Grazyna Bacewicz, 1964

I'd bet it's Albert W. Ketelby. I have seen this record in blue- I own
a black copy. Albany Indestructible # 3134 4 minute
Great Record !! IMHO

Kurt,
Your comment brings to mind a cylinder that a collector friend showed
me
some years ago. It was fully flexible, robin's egg blue and had no
core, but
fit on the mandrel and played just fine. It was of Mendelssohn's
"Rondo
Capriccioso" - I can't recall if it had a number, but I think it had a
title
but no artist credit. From the playing we all guessed it as Xaver
Scharwenka, but of course that was just a wild guess among three people
who
are reasonably conversant with old piano recordings.
Ever run into a title like this, and encounter the name of a pianist?

At 12:40 PM 9/9/2005, you wrote:
I have a celluloid (or some type of plastic) cylinder that I can't
identify. Perhaps somebody here can help. It is a standard-sized,
two-minute cylinder with a cardboard core with a metal ring at the
beginning of the cylinder with a thin layer of black celluloid over
the
top. The bottom of the celluloid layer appears blue. There is no
celluloid
lip on either end and no writing on the cylinder. The cylinder wall
itself
is quite a bit thinner than a typical cylinder and is not tapered. The
cylinder is not announced, but the pop song is "When I get you alone
tonight."
This is probably 4 minute Indestructible 3266 by Walter Van Brunt.
I have found several Indestructible cylinders that are missing the
title
rim. They sometimes crack and fall off, leaving a cylinder just as you
describe.
