LA Times story on wax cylinders


Recommended Posts

One thing not mentioned here and which I only recently learned:  Wax cylinders couldn't be stamped for reproductions.  The earliest ones could only recorded with a separate machine for each cylinder so they did about 5 at a time.  If one was popular, the artist would just keep redoing it.  I presume they soon found a way around this. Anyone know?
