Greetings all - Today was Edison Day at the Edison National Historic Site. I grew up in West Orange and my parents still live there. So, they called me and wanted stop by. So we went! They had a cylinder recording session and we toured the Edison House (Glenmont). Here are the recording session pics... Entrance arch... ENHS grounds... more grounds... Building 11... Wax Cylinder Recording Session... Introducing themselves... Warming up... Close up of the German reed organ... The band posing... Getting ready to play "into the horn"... The recorder phonograph... The playback phonograph... Tinfoil reproduction hanging out in the back... Picture of the original recording studio... Some phonographs (including an Oak Victor L-Door) behind glass...

I recorded a 15 minute video but had to chop it down to 10 because of YouTube restrictions.
ATTENTION: If I had known I would be attending a recording demonstration, I would have brought my camcorder, unfortunately all I had was a digicam so PLEASE PARDON THE POOR AUDIO. It sounded better in person.

Hi I'm Chris, one of The 413's. Thanks for posting these pictures and the video. We had a great time Saturday. Jerry and the rest of the staff at The Edison Museum couldn't have been more suportive and helpful. I have loved phonographs and the recording process all my life. This is where it all began. If you've never had a chance to see the majic unfold make yourself a opportunity. You'll be glad you did.

Chris - you guys were great! ...and I agree with you 100%... thanks for being a part of the process and showing the people how it's done! I'm only sorry I didn't have my better quality video camera to catch the moment.
