All that an "electric" recording needed was the extended bass response (as
compared to acoustic recordings). Keep in mind that the players of the 
1925-3?
period were FAR from "high fidelity"...in fact, many people were still using 
old
acoustic players. This is why Columbia could sell acoustic Harmonys (et al)
into 1931...!
