RARITY:
Offered on eBay for the first time - this exact pressing has not appeared on the market here before. Comparable Arnold Ros recordings have reached around 1000, underlining strong collector demand for early issues of this kind.
Clean and glossy surface, showing only light scuffs and couple short marks / signs of use for its age.
Slight dish warp center sits slightly lower than the outer edge , typical for early shellac records and not uncommon.
Playback:
A-side plays excellent and stable throughout
B-side plays very well, though the first grooves may require slightly increased needle weight for optimal tracking thereafter plays cleanly
No cracks, no edge chips. A superb, investment-grade example of an exceptionally rare early violin recording
SHIPPINGProfessionally packed in a strong box, between thick cardboard sheets and softening material for full protection.
