In July 2018, Colin Hancock recorded four tunes played by the Austin Banjo Club on wax cylinders using the same process that was used for making recordings at the beginning of the 20th century. It was a fun experience for us and he has now posted the resulting recordings.
Colin Hancock of Semper Phonograph Company is a Cornell University student from Buda, Texas.
