The clear, strong bass of this recording predates by over 10 years
the first electrical recordings using microphones,
and shows just how full-sounding a well-engineered acoustical recording could be
(for the audiophile: The low frequencies in this recording dip to 105Hz).

SEVENTY-ONE MEXICAN RECORDS.
These Records were made in Mexico City under the direction of
experts sent from the Recording Department
of the National Phonograph Co.
They are, therefore, made according to the most approved methods of this company.
Large numbers of them have been sold in Mexico and
have been pronounced by natives of that country as being remarkable for
their quality, naturalness, volume and clearness. . . .
The instrumental Records are made by the leading Mexican bands and orchestras.
A number of the titles are accompanied by the guitar.
