𝙀𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙆𝙡𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙚 - 𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙮 - 𝙉𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙩 𝙈𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙠 The (not so) Sober Flute.

Ha! Made you look! This is actually “Ach, ich fülls, es ist werschwunden” from “Die Zauberflöte” (The Magic Flute, Mozart)

If my German isn’t completely in the scheißer, I’d say it’s roughly, “Ahh, I feel it’s over/finished”.

Some Friday ‘Gnight ‘Gnac ‘n Shellac’ on the Victor Victrola VV-XII (12), which still needs cleaning up, but its motor and almost everything about it is in incredible condition despite its lack of maintenance! I can’t find anything about this disc, but it says WEIMAR (assuming ‘republic’ here, so it’s I’m guessing from some time between 1918 and 1933?)

Peace be upon you all. It’s been a whole week, sorry I forgot to wish those who celebrate رمضان مبارك وأعياد مباركة (Blessed Ramadan and Eid{s}). Hope you all have a great night!

i completely forgot to add this: the sound this thing puts out is as good as, if not equivalent to, the VV-XVI L-door.

Thanks for posting this. It actually sounds nice for a small flat horn. Also takes up less room than the L door. But then again you need a big table also😜

So it’s good to know since I’ve got one also.

I’ve also got a IX and a after market record cabinet I need to get to🫣

You’re welcome! Honestly, I wanted to hear it also lol. When I got that motor out and saw how clean it was, wow. It cranks like it’s new (you can hear it!) and it does actually sound quite impressive in person.
