It was the first time that sound could be recorded and played back.

Before this invention, for you to be able to hear a sound, it had to be live.

A person speaking, a singer, an orchestra, all had to be there in front of you, before you could hear anything.

Being able to play a sound whenever you wanted, inspired people to get into music, at their leisure. It opened up new possibilites in entertainment and communication.

Before this time, if you had said that you could play back a recorded sound whenever you wanted, you would have been declared as mad, or delusional.

Emile Berliner invented the gramophone in 1887. The gramophone was invented as a marketing ploy to get famous artists to begin recording their material on this new invention.
