Keith,
have you ever seen or listened to a real old Gramaphone (brand name),
the kind one had to wind up, with the needle attached to a small
diaphragm
from which the sound emanated? I used to have one. It was somewhat
tinny and false of tone.
I'm sure you did not make your recording with such a device.
