Most of this channel is devoted to older music being played on a variety of vintage phonographs/gramophones I own. I have a special fondness for the little window of time between 1927 and 1934 when a very special kind of music was being recorded, just after the advent of electrical recording, and before the world devolved into swing and big band. I do not hold the copyrights on these recordings and they are only being presented as examples of vintage records being played on vintage machines. I hope you take time to listen to some of these that I've discovered. When playing records with steel needles I always use a brand new soft tone only. I enjoy the immediacy of the sound it produces on a good non-electric portable.
