Oldest recording (ca 1900) I’ve ever heard in Dutch, this phonograf was invented by Thomas Edison and played waxed rolls of cartboard. Every roll was live recorded.

An old friend of mine (90y) got it as a gift from his mother but the thing broke down somewhere in the 1930, had it restored and this was the first time it played again in the old man’s house.
That’s so cool!
Please preserve this in a more robust, lossless digital format for the future. It’s a very unique piece of history.
