I´ve done my own disc as well. Not quite comfortably placing it in front of professional world class soloists, but then I seldom get to record those for major labels. My run is more like my local amateur orchestra, and then what counts is the result.
So, yes, if I had London Symphony orchestra hired for the recording, I would not hesitate to buy a ready-made Jecklin disc.
The diameter 35 cm is oddly close to a standard LP record. And lambs fleece used to be quite readily available -- I sort of believe mr Jecklin got an idea and simply took what was available around. This approach is generally a good start in my world, anything after that is mostly minor changes, and not always to the better. Because to my experience what is better is dependant on so many factors. All from what music I am recording, to the players and their instruments and the hall. And up to what ideal sound I am striving for. Listening and modifying on location is always needed, never have I been able to get the perfect setup on first try. So far at least.
