Who uses wax cylinders?

[DarthFaders]

I have a couple, and they really sound bad! Thomas Alva Edison's old company made them...worth some money, but GEEZ!

The only reason I really posted this is because the description of this particular forum made me laugh.

Really, though, to hear a wax cylinder is an absolutely amazing experience; it can't be put into words (or at least I'm not willing to do it.)

They might be Giants recorded a song on them. Can't remember what or which album but it's true. Cool song.

Wax cylinders

You can use wax cylinders as lights. They have to have a string through the middle. Very retro, very chic.

Darth, I think you're the only wax cylinder-head on this board.

so you can have exclusive bragging rights to that one!

No doubt, they do that.

But hey doc, weren't you just raving about your "wax cylinder sim" plugin?
