F acts you should know!
Yer can play the new Victor Orthophonic Records on old style Victrolas. But for ideal results they must be played on the new Orthophonic Victrola or Electrola, manufactured by the Victor Talking Machine Company.
The Orthophonic Victrola and Orthophonic Victor Records are made for one another. And in conjunction, they represent an advance in recorded music which is difficult to believe until you have heard them together.
With the old style Victrola and acoustical recording, about the lowest musical note you could hear was the middle C of the soprano, the lowest note the usual soprano voice can sing comfortably. Instruments like the double-bass disappeared from orchestras because all were ambitious to make records, and they found it necessary to discard the deep-toned instruments, which would not reproduce fully. Some manufacturers gave up trying to record these instruments.
The Victor Company persisted. The Orthophonic principle opened the gates, and we found we could record the lowest, and just as important, the highest tones of music, and reproducethem. The new Orthophonic Victrola and Orthophonic Victor Records in combination now give you your music with a realism long declared impossible.
Orthophonic Victrolas cover a range of prices to suit any purse. Some embodying the Orthophonic principle may be had for as little as $75 list price. Orthophonic Victrolas and Electrolas are offered in combination with the famous Radiola. You should see and hear what you get in the new Combination Instruments for a modest sum.
The Orthophonic Victor Records are so far above anything else, that if you are playing them only on an old style Victrola it will surprise you to hear them on a modern one.
