If you play a 33rpm record in a 78 rpm record player what will happen? Will it play it too slowly/quickly? will it play at all?

if you play a 33 rpm reacord in a 78rpm player it'll speed up a ton and the pitch will go higher,

If you play a 33 at 78 it would be going more than twice as fast. If you really have a 78rpm record player as opposed to an adjustable speed turn table you would be using a very poor quality needle and might damage your vinyl recording. These real old school needles were made of steel where newer models are typically diamond.

33rpm = 33 revs per minute
78rpm = 78 revs per minute
It'd sound like the freakin' chipmunks.

I tried it when I was a kid, it plays very slow, it sounds funny.
