Video: Edison Wax Cylinder Recording Session

Have you ever heard a recording on an original Edison Cylinder? It's an incredible experience!

Recording to an original Edison Cylinder machine is an incredible experience to watch.

Thanks to Gerald Fabris of the Edison Historic Site, Bruno Caruso (great grand nephew of Enrico), the Hot Tamale Brass Band, the AES, the Audio Program at the New England Institute of Art and especially to Thomas Edison, we have the opportunity to watch a recording session right here.

Recorded on February 2, 2010, 100 years to the day after the publishing of the recorded song “Take Me Out To The Ball game”, this amazing event was attended by over 400 people.
