One  of our clients has a collection of rare wax cylinders he would like
to have  transferred into the digital domain. These are of one of his
ancestors who  was apparently a renown opera singer in Edison's day.  



One area that was only slightly mentioned in a response Steve was that the  
definition of "rare" has to be taken into context. While you did not state the  
artists name (I guess I can understand why), it may be that your client has a 
 COMMERCIALLY made edison cylinder which has already been transferred 
commercialy  to digital! Remember there are many "RAre" copies of "I'll Take You Home 
Again  Kathleen" on Ebay! <vbg>
 
Also, if the performer's name was posted there might be people with OTHER  
recordings of your client's ancestor.
 
Just some thoughts from a non-technician.
