Vintage Edison Amberol Record Cylinder Four Minute 1909

Description

Vintage Edison Amberol Record Cylinder Four Minute 1909
In 1908, Edison introduced the wax Amberol cylinder, boasting double the number of grooves on an equivalently sized wax cylinder and hence a playing time twice as long as that of the Gold-Moulded cylinder. In the coming decade, the four-minute, 200 TPI (threads-per-inch) cylinder would replace the previous industry standard of two-minute, 100 TPI cylinders. (For identification purposes, Edison Amberols, as opposed to Edison Gold-Moulded cylinders, are marked with the "4M" designation, followed by the recording number.) This new groove pitch allowed for a wider range of musical and expressive potential.
