Trivia: Early recordings were made entirely acoustically, the sound
being collected by a horn and piped to a diaphragm which vibrated the cutting
stylus. Sensitivity and frequency range were poor, and frequency response was
very irregular, giving cylinder recordings an instantly recognizable tonal
quality. A singer practically had to put his face in the recording horn. Cellos
and double
basses were completely unrecordable. Violins
were barely recordable but instruments were modified
with a horn built into the sound box to direct the sound into the recorder's
horn.
Contrary to popular belief, if placed properly and prepared-for, drums could
be effectively used and heard on even the earliest jazz recordings. The loudest
instruments stood the farthest away from the collecting horn. Lillian Hardin
Armstrong, a member of King
Oliver's Creole Jazz Band that recorded at Gennett
Records in 1923, remembered that at first Oliver and his young second
trumpet, Louis
Armstrong, stood next to each other and Oliver's horn couldn't be heard.
"They put Louis about fifteen feet over in the corner, looking all sad. (Source:
