Imagine not having access to music unless someone played it for you or you played it yourself. This invention was truly a gift. Music makes our lives so much better.
The problem is that it reduced the number of people who can sing, play, or read music. People became passive listeners, whereas once everyone was expected to be able to sing and play an instrument of some sort.
This EXCELSIOR record, and others made by the firm all have fantastic BASS for ACCOUSTIC recordings. One reason likely was the recording diaphram was likely oversized like those used by PATHE, around 7 inches or so. Even though this is a disk record, the trademark of the labels trademark shows of the firm shows the man climbing a stack of cylinders. The firms slogan was "E,VER UPWARDS".

Beautiful looking machine.

Without the use of electricity.

It's so interesting to know what recorded music was like more than 100 years ago. My understanding is that the whole orchestra had to crowd around a horn and record direct-to-disc. The earliest process, as I saw in a book I read back in the 80s in school, had multiple record cutting machines in the studio, so the orchestra had to keep making recordings to make more records, as there was no "pressing" to duplicate the record.
th-cam.com/video/Pn1r2-t59gA/w-d-xo.html - and cylinders where often made out of a mould if I’m correct. They never needed to have multiple machines in the same room to make more copies. That would make each cylinder different, and only a few of them would be good to listen to because of the placing of the different instruments in front of the horn.
Cylinders were able to made from a master only after 1902. Before that, if you wanted 10 copies of a record, you had your band play it 10 times. Or, you put multiple machines out and had the band play into many at the same time. Also, a method of mechanical Pantographing allowed several copies to be made from an original.

wow this is really great I have heard of Talkophone and Excelsior from Toledo but never seen nor heard any THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING Carl Toledo, Ohio
Simply amazing now 115 years later I am hearing this with my cordless over the ear headphones on my laptop computer. Just marvelous you have been able to share this historic recording here on TH-cam! Many thanks!
My victrola vv 80 always has a noisy motor no matter how well I oiled it. I traced the sound to the governor which is just slightly out of balance causing a slight rumble. Noisy motors don’t bother me though because you can’t hear it when the records playing
All Gramophones are phonographs, but not all phonographs are gramophones. Record player is acceptable to describe both as they are both machines that play records
There was another Excelsior record label in L.A. in the early 1940's. It and its sister label Exclusive recorded mostly Black R&B artists.The Black songwriting brothers Leon and Oris René ("When It's Sleepy Time Down South," "When the Swallows Come Back to Capstrano") were the principal owners, and though they recored mostly Black artists (including two sessions with Nat "King" Cole after Decca dropped him and before Capitol signed him), they also made early records with Frankie Laine.
@victrolaman Thanks for the nice comments, Victrolaman! You are very welcome. I have only found five of these early Excelsior label records. I really enjoy the unusual early labels and I'm sure you do as well. I'm hoping to post a few more of the rather uncommon early record label recordings from my collection.
Many of the very earliest disc records were announced in spite of the fact that those bearing paper labels included this information. The primary reason for the announcement being present on the earliest cylinder records was because the title information was not present anywhere on the cylinder. A paper slip indicating the artist and title were included instead but these were easily discarded. The recorded announcements on labelled records was likely a tradition carried over from early days.
Actually some cylinder records had artist's names and song titles inscribed on the outside margin of the cylinder. Also, early record producers believed that a loud, clear and emphatic announcement at the beginning of a record added to its appeal.
Thanks Rocky! Glad you enjoyed this one. My impression has always been that the knight was climbing stacks of disc records. Interesting to think that they could be interpreted as cylinder records too! Stop back again soon and hope you post on your channel some of the new cylinders you'll be getting soon.
Impressive sound quality. Of course, the rebuilt reproducer fully demonstrates what the Victor is capable of, but don't you enjoy the discovery of a gem like this that delivers the unexpected! Since it advertises "Any Disc", do you suppose this is one of the 'universal' types that was cut for lateral or vertical play? Either way, it has substantial bass response and a quiet surface unusual for the era. Thank You for sharing this diamond!
I happen to see one of these machines, but older at an antique mall earlier this year. Yeah, as I stopped to look, the needle was on the disc. As I took the needle out, it started spinning either 33, 45, or 78 RPM. I’m not sure. But as my dad told me to put it back, the spinning stopped as the needle landed on one the grooves.
What an awesome phonograph, withwind up power,.it reminds me seeing pictures where you can see Thomas Edisson next to one of these,then when you saw the logo of RCA Victor the voice of his master logo used on the records and all their products.
How Strange that this early Excelsior Record Gives absolutely no reference to the Talk-O-Phone Co. of Toledo, Ohio on the label, and the only mention of it, is in the introduction of the record. These discs are extremely rare, and I have only come across one in all my years of collecting. You can see and hear it on my "Nobody" by Arthur Collins video on my youtube channel Thanks again for posting this rare and unusual disc. with the exceptionally interesting label. Victrolaman
Well, actually they kinda have! There has been a lot of changes since the single sided "78s" like this record in the video. Nowadays records are a bit larger, are double sided, and hold WAY more than 5 minutes of music, usually at 33 instead of 78rpm.
"FOR ANY DISC TALKING MACHINE" - ok, they couldn't know, that Pathé started this year vertical cut records and Edison did so some years later. So "Any disc talking machine" was for this time true, because discs were at this moment always laterally recorded. Another thing is, an Edison disc phonograph can't play Pathe discs, because the arm is driven by the motor, not by the groove. This excludes center start records, that can't be played with tagential arms and this would make the stylus jump. I heard, the finer groove in Diamond Discs means on modern equipment to play the first Diamond Discs with print on the record with 25 µm Microgroove stylus and the later paper label records with 65 µm 1950's normal groove stylus.
Wow !!! That's amazing results from a primitive sound-recording and playback equipment. Actually that was a beautiful march and excellent performance by the musicians. I hope you take good extra careful care of those items. Don't use "pledge" or lemon-oil on that wood. Thanks for sharing this gem through TH-cam.
A beautiful old record played on a beautiful old Victor machine. Thank you for showing this. One suggestion I would make would be to show a good view of the decal on the front as well as the Victor name plate on the left side. The machine is just as special as the record it played.
Thanks zj. I believe this record was pressed by the International Record company and that this is a lateral playback only record. The statement they make likely infers that the 'Disc Talking Machine' played only lateral cut records and the dealers probably instructed the customer what machines would play these. Great comments!
I love a blip of old music, even in modern form. Better than them new music with people who think they have talent and wailing cybernetically like talentless drones with their fastidious shoes and better than everyone else. This is honest and simple hard work of an old song put into more effort, something about experience and risk taking you don’t hear on the radio anymore.
this is a wonderful record and machine that complement each other, you are quite lucky indeed to have a Victor D phonograph, for they are very rare due to not selling super well.
Just think: the earliest Berliner phonos had to be cranked all through the record. Was not until 1897 trademark machine used a spring that only needed to be cranked once.
@@Patryk_Nowina-Nowicki perhaps the record, but this model phonograph usually sells for around 2,000 USD. What you are referring to would be a fake, modern, indian phonograph.
@@panda-goat I got an original hornless (internal horn) HMV RCA Victor model 60 gramophone for the equivalent of 150 bucks. I don't know where you live, but they aren't that expensive in Europe. Now, yes I do agree the horned gramophones are usually much more expensive, and there are plenty of fake reproduction models around. I interpreted the question as ANY 78RPM wind-up gramophone, but correct, if you would want THIS exact one you would have to pay much more than I suggested. Overall the horned gramophones are usually more desirable by the average inexperienced person as they are more "iconic". That's also why there are so many fakes. I usually stay away from cheap, shiny horned gramophones, as 99.9% of those are reproduction
I think it's a good thing we moved to electric models with a tinier stylus. Imagine having to replace the needle every play, or trim it if it were bamboo.
Wow, the sound quality is so amazing! Just impressive how people could record music in such a good quality sooooooo long ago without much technology and play it without electricy. I love it, I really want a gramophone too.
The original title on the sheet score of 1904 was “A Deed of the Pen“. Came it so popular to need to change for “THE” and consider there is no one else?
Abajo de ese Fonografo seguro hay uno marca Brunswick!!!! Yo tengo 3... un Brunswick , uno como el del video pero con tapa y uno maletin!! Son mis tesoros!! ❤❤❤❤❤
There certainly were mean people back then. Times were rough in 1905, and there were no safety nets if one fell on hard times. I will say that, due to the lack of electronic distractions, people were much more willing to converse in public than they are today. The bad apples have always been here, but the good ones were easier known before this age of distraction.

The original title on the sheet score of 1904 was “A Deed of the Pen“. Came it so popular to need to change for “THE” and consider there is no one else?
Good fidelity for its time! A fan and an admirer from Pakistan!

A slower time , when people weren't so mean.
a slower time, when we still had icebergs
There certainly were mean people back then. Times were rough in 1905, and there were no safety nets if one fell on hard times. I will say that, due to the lack of electronic distractions, people were much more willing to converse in public than they are today. The bad apples have always been here, but the good ones were easier known before this age of distraction.
Did you really said that ?
Before it was hard to breathe.

I miss the good old Roman days, where every citizen owned a slave, and everybody had a fun time watching barbarians slaughter themselves at the Colosseum.
I love how they used to announce the number like a stage show would.
