A recording session is clearly underway ... the recording horns can be seen in the center at the back of the room in front of the banjo player.

I assume this is the orchestra formed to record for the Columbia record label. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_Symphony_Orchestra A history of the Columbia label is at: adp.library.ucsb.edu/index.php/resources/detail/113 www.appalachianhistory.net/2016/04/samantha-bumgarner-rec... states that the first commercial banjo record was recorded in April 1924, featuring Samantha Bumgarner. The banjo player in this photo is a man. So that might be a help in dating this session.

Thanks ceebee23 for pointing out the horns. I'll ask that we add a note to say it shows a recording session.

swanq There were a bunch of different Columbia Records orchestras. This doesn't look to me like the symphony version. Others at: adp.library.ucsb.edu/index.php/basic/index?term=columbia+...

swanq N.B.: that source only says that the first Appalachian style banjo recording was 1924, not all banjo recordings.
