arsclist cylinder frequency range

[David Seubert <seubert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Can anybody tell me what the maximum frequency range present in a well 
recorded wax cylinder might be? We are trying to determine what the minimum 
sampling rate should be when converting a cylinder recording to a 
compressed file format for web delivery. Since the sampling rate only needs 
to be twice the maximum frequency, we'd like to use the lowest one 
possible. I see that the Library of Congress used a sampling rage of 11Khz 
for some 78s in American Memory, but that seems too low to me.

Thanks,
David
