PLEASE NOTE: Wax cylinders lose a little of their quality at each playing, do not play your recordings unnecessarily because the sound will soon deteriorate. Wax cylinders are extremely fragile and will break if dropped or mishandled. Please read handling instructions carefully. Some playback machines cannot cope with heavy bass, the playback device will jump and damage the grooves. Avoid having too much bass in your recordings - even if it doesn't cause damage, you won't hear it through the playback horn anyway. Do not expect miracles: With electrical playback, wax cylinders can give quality approaching the sound of a good 78 rpm record; but with acoustic playback on a cylinder phonograph the sound will be distinctly 'telephonic'. Wax cylinders are monophonic, stereo originals will be converted to mono (equal channel weighting) when recording them to cylinder All musical compositions and written texts are automatically copyright under English Law. The recording or re-recording of copyright material is illegal unless the consent of the copyright holder has been obtained in advance. If in any doubt, please contact the Mechanical Copyright Protection Society for advice. Please do not send recordings from commercial CDs, LPs or 78s for copying unless they are accompanied by proof that you have the recording company's express permission. POPPY Records reserves the right to refuse to make recordings which in our opinion are illegal or offensive or unsuitable in any way. Most countries have severe penalties for 'passing-off' fakes as genuine articles. POPPY Records cylnders will be indelibly marked so that they cannot be mistaken for historic artifacts. This service is not available for making copies of of commercial recordings or for test tones. Please enquire if you wish to issue cylinders commercially. Please see our range of calibration cylinders for test tones.
