We hope to compile a catalogue with players, instruments, tunes, dates, a description of quality and anything else that may be relevant. The catalogue will be updated from your entries. Please provide your observations in a form that helps us to create and update the catalogue.
You will find the player at the bottom of the page. It may be minimised or you might have to scroll down. Volume is initially set to 50%. You can vary the playback speed.
