This well-recorded cylinder is from Edison’s early "B" series of 5-inch diameter "concert" recordings,
from late 1898 through 1901, during which the concert-sized records were cataloged
and numbered separately from the standard-sized cylinders.
After it became clear these extra large (in size, price, and playback volume) cylinders were not
carving out a significant market for themselves, Edison dropped the distinctive B-series
and concert records were subsequently taken from the same catalog numbers and recording masters as
their standard-sized cylinder counterparts.
