Excerpt from Talking Machines and Records: A Handbook for All Who Use Them, Illustrated With Examples of Different Types of Instruments, With Full Instructions for Making a Simple Phonograph, and the Production of "Blanks" And Records HE Phonograph and Gramophone are now so well known as not to call for any detailed description of their appearance; but as many are not so conversant with the mode in which they act, either with regard to their power of recording or that of afterwards reproducing sound, we give in the following pages sufficient information to enable anyone to form an intelligent conception of the acoustic principles which govern the phenomena, and which enable the talking machine to make a memorandum or record of any sound, be it noise or music, speech or howl, emitted within its range and then from this record to reproduce, at the will of the operator, the sounds thereon originally im pressed. We follow this up by a brief historical outline of the work of different experimenters, which has culminated in the Phonograph as we now know it, with its perfected mechanical devices. We also give directions for making a simple but efficient form, giving due prominence to the different types of recorders, records, and reproducers, as well as to the more delicate and noiseless forms of mechanism adapted to imparting the necessary motion to the records.

Excerpt from The Talking Machine World, Vol. 19: For the Makers and Sellers of Talking Machines; July 15, 1923 A representative of The World who recently went out into the territory surrounding the metropolitan district for the specific purpose of finding out what the dealers are doing to stimulate business discovered some surprising things. In'one town, for example, where there are -six dealers handling talking machines and records, questioning disclosed the fact that only one merchant was making any effort to get business. Think of it, one out of six! The other five were doing nothing whatsoever to stimulate trade. They-were so firmly con vinced that selling talking machines and records in the Summer months was an impossibility that they simply laid down on the job. The other and more progressive merchant is mak ing an intensive effort to get business through the canvassing route and, while his sales from this work are by no means startling, they are sufficiently frequent to warrant the continuation of the campaign throughout the Summer. At any rate, it is much better to have the salesmen out trying to dig up_a' few sales than to have them get rusty sitting in the store doing nothing, and, furthermore, even if sales are noticeable by their absence, the very fact that the salesmen have been out visiting the people in the community should be productive of a good many live prospects who can be sold at a more favorable time, say the early Fall.

Many associate early western music with the likes of Roy Rogers and Gene Autry, but America’s first western music craze predates these “singing cowboys” by decades. Written by Tin Pan Alley songsters in the era before radio, the first popular cowboy and Indian songs circulated as piano sheet music and as cylinder and disc recordings played on wind-up talking machines. The colorful fantasies of western life depicted in these songs capitalized on popular fascination with the West stoked by Buffalo Bill’s Wild West shows, Owen Wister’s novel The Virginian, and Edwin S. Porter’s film The Great Train Robbery. The talking machine music industry, centered in New York City, used state-of-the-art recording and printing technology to produce and advertise songs about the American West. Talking Machine West brings together for the first time the variety of cowboy, cowgirl, and Indian music recorded and sold for mass consumption between 1902 and 1918. In the book’s introductory chapters, Michael A. Amundson explains how this music reflected the nostalgic passing of the Indian and the frontier while incorporating modern ragtime music and the racial attitudes of Jim Crow America. Hardly Old West ditties, the songs gave voice to changing ideas about Indians and assimilation, cowboys, the frontier, the rise of the New Woman, and ethnic and racial equality. In the book’s second part, a chronological catalogue of fifty-four western recordings provides the full lyrics and history of each song and reproduces in full color the cover art of extant period sheet music. Each entry also describes the song’s composer(s), lyricist(s), and sheet music illustrator and directs readers to online digitized recordings of each song. Gorgeously illustrated throughout, this book is as entertaining as it is informative, offering the first comprehensive account of popular western recorded music in its earliest form.
