Hi Andy,
Nice Pic.
The Only Indication That This Is An Old Photo Is The "Sepia Tone" Picture & The Old Style Microphones.
BTW: Is That A Bass Banjo On The Right Or A Banjo
Style Bass?

Found this on the internet, evidently Gibson made some of these instruments. I'll bet they're hard to locate now.

I wonder if that is Andy Sannella on Hawaiian guitar? I know they worked together.
What do you think?

I'm no historian but if this is 1928 then stereophonic sound is in it's very very baby stages. If this were being broadcast, I think it'd probably be done in mono, where problems of phase cancellation are exacerbated. The closely spaced sets, I think, are more likely positioned as such to reduce phase cancellation, rather than produce a wide stereo image. Willing to stand corrected of course.

No stereo. Just multiple microphones to allow
for wider coverage. The microphones could have been mixed or just alternated. Announcer on one,
Soloist on the other.
The two microphones on each stand were most likely
connected in parallel.
That looks like a publicity photo. The placement of the microphones in the actual broadcast was probably quite different. |

Andy S. is a good bet. That's his era and his location. He looks a bit more portly there but that's not a history detective deal breaker.
