I was cataloging my oldest Edison Diamond Discs and wax cylinders and discovered that my earliest recording is an comic ragtime track from June of 1909. And I was thrilled to find all of my cylinders available on YouTube which I promptly ripped to MP3 for my digital library.
I'll share the novelty track - Here is the Edison Indestructible Cylinder of Bob Roberts – "Heinie Waltzed Round On His Hickory Limb," Indestructible Record #1076 from June of 1909. Enjoy!

Thanks! I've had it for about 15 years or so, just before I began exhaustively cataloging and documenting all of my musical activities. I take care of my rarer materials.

wow
I sure wish to be able to play a record this old one day Does it work on a turntable though? Didn't the technique of making records change considerably between the 1900s and whenever vinyl records became the norm? Do you have a special kind of turntable for it? |

I haven't a wax cylinder player in my home, but I have been shopping around for a restored machine. Presently, the oldest talking machine I posses is a handsome Philco 47-1227 floor model phonograph & radio manufactured in 1947. It has excellent sensitivity and selectivity, owing to the use of double IF stages plus, for the FM band, a high gain pentode RF amplifier. The set uses a 12" electrodynamic speaker mounted to the front-panel that tilts out to reveal the internal phonograph. The model was introduced with an initial sales price of $239.50 in 1947. My late father and I found it on the side of the road on trash day. We carefully transported it home and found that the tubes were 100% functional and it fired right up when we plugged it in! If I do end up with a wax cylinder talking machine, I promise to share photos! I'm so pleased that the community enjoys my little sonic excursions!
