One of Canada's great historical music sights is located just a short drive from Quebec City where a collection of over 200 cylinder talking machines is open to the public. The Musée Edison du Phonographe is owned by well-known phonograph collector and CAPS member Jean-Paul Agnard. This past summer CAPS editor, Mark Caruana, had an opportunity to visit the museum in Ste-Anne-de-Beaupré and pour over the collection. An article on his impressions of this treasure begins on page 9.
