[78-L] Acoustic recording of modenn music questions

[Michael Biel]

Ironically, just ten minutes ago I was looking thru some postings about
my friend Peter Dilg who records musicians on cylinder acoustically, and
one of the recordings was of Les Paul's electric guitar with a horn in
front of the amp.  One of the articles mentioned the idea of making
cylinders of something like a Beatles record.

This may sound strange but I thought I'd ask anyway. Suppose a 60's or
70's rock song was played from a good wide range loudspeaker into a
recording horn that went to a flat disc recorded lateral at 78 rpm then
the disc was played back on an all electric turnable. Any idea how it
might sound like on playback using a lacquer disc for the recording
surface? In other words somehow connect a homemade acoustic recording
head to a presto or other recording table to cut the acoustic disc?
Honestly I'd like to try that some day just to hear what it would sound
like on playback  I know the frequency response would be something like
150 to 200 hertz on the low end to about 6 or maybe 7 kilohertz on the
high end but other than that I have no idea how it would sound through
the electric turntable & amplifier plus a speaker. Has anybody already
tried this idea?
