[78-L] Acoustical blue wax Hawaiian

[martha]

I'd guess that the acoustically-recorded sound quality was considered good 
enough for 1931-32, what with the 90%+ customers who still had acoustic 
players.   The pickup of guitars, banjos, violins, and xylophones doesn't 
seem to improve much with the electrical era, to my ears.  In fact, the 
xylophone suffered under the microphone, as far as I can hear.
