Thread Name: Tech: Getting wax cylinders transcribed
Subject: Tech: Getting wax cylinders transcribed
A friend showed me a small collection of wax cylinders that has been in his family for years, along with an Edison Type A phonograph. They used to play them when they were kids, but the cylinders are so delicate that some were damaged, and they have now been stored unplayed for about 40 years. The player now lacks a needle.

Some of the titles look interesting- notably Carolina Tar Heel (banjo) and Lancashire Clog- so I wondered if anyone (in the UK) knows where we could get these transcribed?
