Problem with the original from cylinder is it went to tape so 2 mechanical recording devices (100 years apart!) which introduces a lot of wow and flutter. A lot more tools today to clean things up audio wise.
That is SO FREAKING COOL and is kind of breaking my nerdy little brain. I love it!! Thanks so much for sharing.
