Setting the speed to 0.9 sounds much more realistic. Interesting recording, nevertheless. Thanks for making it available.

Thank you for collecting awesome relics!!

Wow, despite the noisy first few seconds, the quality of the record is excellent and clear for what the types of sounds it had in it - Great transfer :)

Hey Felix, where the the train? Great piano playing but at what expense? I'll take the Billy Williams version any day over this.

I've never seen a berliner with such little noise, it does sound quite distorted though, even compared to other, noisier ones I've heard, still a great record though.

Back at the turn of the century did they have vacuum tubes electronic equipment for the recording studio

Perhaps the earliest example of sound effects. Amazing!

Still prefer it at .75 speed and hear every note. And this recording IS playing it faster than originally played. Count the damn revolutions if you don't believe it!

Watch the video of Cory Hall playing this piece to get an idea of how "to fast" this is playing. No one could play this fast. It is always good to check the speed of a victrola with a strobe disc, although it can be set by ear, if you know the correct tempo of a recording.

I'm so grateful this video exists. Not only for the gorgeous victrola but for fearuring this song. This is the only piece of media on the onternet I found that seems to have the "full" lyrics. So, if you see this, who made the video, I thank you a lot. ❤

Back in the 60's my cousin and I were rummaging through an old barn where we weren't supposed to be, and there was this old Victrola just like that under a pile of junk and a foot of dust. My cousin contacted someone that had inherited the property, confessed to trespassing, and asked if he could buy it. He sold it to him! It was also full of records. A year or 2 later I saw it, cuz had very nicely refurbished the finish - pretty damn good for a 12 year old - and it played those records just fine. Should ask him if he still has it. I'll bet it's worth more than the 10 or 15 bucks he paid the guy for it!

Holy smokes, never would've thought he intended for it to be that fast!

There is no better (or worse) "ree-CORD" that defines bipolar shit music like this. I added to one of my playlists.

1:05 for the song!

I've never seen a video of this record, I was aware of it's existence though. You had it running way too fast.

I did enjoy and thank you very much

My mom is named Nola, after this song.

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❤😊❤❤

I have been collecting records and 16mm films for over 60 years. Any opera Diamond Discs in the storage area? You have a nice collection. I enjoyed your site.

Are there any opera Edison Diamond Discs in the storage area?

This 1917 Columbia recording was issued into the 1920s. The blue Columbia label is from that period. You have a nice collection of rare Phonographs.

Could I buy this record

Very nice! Thanks for sharing.

😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀 What is this music brother ? Very funny!!!!!.

Actually the Varsity Eight, recorded on May 13, 1925.

1:01 song

Voice of the singer sounds like Mickey mouse

Ok I got my 1911 model! It will need some maintenance and the metal slats are missing from the bottom but it should be going again in no time!

Getting one of these older XIVs pretty soon!

O. M. ¡¡¡DAWG!!!💓 THIS is SPECIAL beyond just special. My dear Daddy had a machine like this one...I spent hours playing 78rpm records on it.

Musical Instrument Longtime World Today's memory ilove mo...

I need to know more about Nola

The speed is not at 78. You need a strobe disc to set the speed to 78...probably running at 85.

I've got this record on my channel. It's on the Gennett label from the same year by Baileys Lucky Seven. Quite an enjoyable selection :)

Very interesting record! I sadly don't own any pre dog Victor's or any Improved ones yet, only a few 2nd variation dog monarch records manufactured in the 1902-1904 time period. :)

The record is running far to fast, and spoils the pitch and tone, like something from the chipmunks.

the opera is pronounced "tawn-hoyzer

He played that a lot faster than I had heard it played before.

Sadly, Felix Arndt died in the Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918 shortly after marrying Nola, the subject of this beautiful song.

Incredible! Never seen that at all, perfect condition!!!

I have the same machine but it dosn't work yet.

Great I love this ol patriotic song though i think the victor version sounds better but that just might be me lol :)

Recorded on March 26, 1926. The "Golden Gate Orchestra" is Ed Kirkeby's "California Ramblers".

Sounds great!

I once heard a recording on a homemade cylinder of a bad version of a Maple Leaf Rag piano roll (I have a copy of it actually) and it sounded absurdly bad, sort of like a worn out tape recorder with a slipping capstan...

Recorded on March 30, 1916.

Nice machines and records I am also building a collection aswell

Man, I really want this record! I have a record player that plays at all the speeds including 16 rpm (why did they record at 16 rpm?)
