At least you can get some musical instruments / synthesizers and make your own recording.

Or just break the law by ignoring unreasonable copyright claims. Copyright on a recording from the 1930s is not beneficial to the public in any way. This approach of course comes with the risk of becoming the next Jammie Thomas.

Jammie Thomas wasn't distributing copyrighted works from the 1930s
