[78-L] Acoustic recording of modenn music questions

I think the main problem would be that the lacquer probably requires more
force from the cutting stylus.

Subject: [78-L] Acoustic recording of modenn music questions


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?
