Elevate your collection with an outstanding example of Edison’s rare 5‑inch Concert Cylinder, the most powerful and prestigious recording format produced during the acoustic era. This impressive large‑format cylinder features “Mixed Ale Party”, recorded by Lenn Spencer, a well‑known early comic and vaudeville performer whose work remains highly collectible among phonograph enthusiasts.
This cylinder is in excellent condition, playing loud, clear, and with strong presence—exactly what collectors expect from the oversized Concert format. It may show a small spot or two from age, so please review the photos for full detail. These are actual photos of the cylinder and box, and the item shown is exactly what you will receive. Reserved exclusively for the Edison Concert Phonograph, these oversized cylinders were produced in far smaller quantities than standard 2‑minute records. Their expanded diameter, deeper grooves, and commanding physical scale were engineered to deliver exceptional volume, rich tonal depth, and room‑filling projection suitable for parlors, exhibitions, and high‑end demonstrations.
This is more than a recording—it is a museum‑worthy artifact representing the height of Edison’s engineering and the golden age of early American sound recording. A true statement piece for any advanced cylinder or phonograph collection.
