Articles on 78s, Old Music, Machines, and More

All Collectors

Both beginning and advanced collectors may be interested in these general articles. Included are articles on phonograph books/journals, piano rolls, CDs, and old phonographs.

Beginners

These articles are of interest not only for the beginning collector but also for folks who may have acquired an old phonograph or a collection of old records and they don't know what to do with them.  The Value of Phonographs is my most popular article!

Advanced Collectors

This section contains specialized articles for advanced collectors including excerpts from my book "Popular American Recording Pioneers".
