Columbia HG (Home Grand); AB (Macdonald)
The Columbia HG was introduced in 1899 for $150 and was designed
to play the larger concert cylinders. The Columbia AB was introduced
in 1901 to play either regular cylinders or the larger concert cylinders.
The 5" cylinders were supposed to produce a louder sound than
the standard brown wax cylinders available at the time.
