Amazing photos. Something to remember about the bands/ensembles around the  
wax cylinder days of recording. Usually an array of recording 'horns' were  
arranged near the band. They would do about 20 or so cylinders at a time,  
so if they wanted 5,000 copies of the cylinders they would need to play 
through  a piece roughly 250 performances of the piece per recording or more. 
 
It makes a 3-4 hour recording session seem a lot more bearable.
