Don't omit Claude Gravely Arnold's superlative "The Orchestra On Record,
1896-1926".

And insofar as an electronic cylinder player is concerned, Henri
Chamoiux's (sp)? Archeophone is a very fine device. But on a budget, the
Edison Shops 
electronic pickup which will mount in a correctly operating Edison
Standard , Home or Triumph phonograph will also do the trick if all you
want to play are standard size cylinders. It comes with both a 2 and 4
minute stylus.

If one has a little patience, in the next few months I will have a  
solution that may be helpful to many (but a lot of work remains).

Separately, does anyone know if such as thing as a "transcription  
phonograph" exists, that is to say a phonograph which has audio  
outputs rather than sticking a microphone by the horn to allow  
transfer recordings of phonograph cylinders.  One can dream and  
remove the need to sticking a microphone by the "speaking tube" :?)
