Does anyone have an idea how many recordings Cassi made and poss. what firms they were issued with? Cassi was "Chief Trumpeter" with Roosevelt's Rough Riders.Any help is welcome. Thanks.

According to Brian Rust, Cassi made three recordings of the bugle calls he had sounded for the Rough Riders in their 1 July 1898 charge up San Juan Hill -- recording them on 28 Nov 1898 (Berliner 3438); in 1899 (Columbia cylinder 3769); and c. Feb 1902 (Columbia 638). Paul Charosh's Berliner discography says Cassi recorded other bugle calls of the American and Spanish Armies for Berliner 3439, 3440, & 3442, the first two known to have been recorded on 28 Nov 1898.
