Interesting 1904 Columbia AZ Graphophone In Unusual Fancy Cabinet Playing Wax Cylinders

[@thenorthamericanphonograph1039]

Columbia Graphophones are pretty machines, these cabinets are stunning.

This is such a beautiful machine

[@prunusserrulata6303]

The reproducer on the AZ is made in a shape of a lyre and those three ‘nails’ are supposed to represent strings of the lyre

Where did that intro come from? That’s hilarious!! Great video!

[@Oldtimemusiclover]

Can you switch the reproducers on these machines to play brown wax?

Cool Columbia AZ

[@oldradiosnphonographs]

Very nice! Would like to have more Columbia machines but Edison machines are more common here in the Midwest! I’m waiting on a Columbia BE so that would be nice. I only have a Columbia Q (1st version 1901) but it plays too slow for black wax records and I have no brown wax 120rpm records.

In as much as the reproducer is in the shape of a Lyre (pronounced as Liar, not lira, as the old Italian currency was) the three pins atop it, to me, give an evocative semblance of the lyre's strings.

Could u tell me how to add music copyright citations on KZbin videos? I would like to know to stay out of trouble with copyright stuff...

[@gunnarthefeisty]

you wont- it'll auto label if it recognizes a song.
