Where did music recordings begin?
In 1857 a French inventor named Edourd-Leon Scott de Martinville patented the first known devise, which he call phonautograph, which could transcribe sound by drawing a hog bristle over blackened glass. Unfortunately, his invention didn't include a means to play back the sound. In 1878, Thomas Edison patented his phonograph, originally designed to impress the sound waves into tin foil but changed to wax cylinders for commercial recordings. The first playable recording is said to be of Edison reciting "Mary Had a Little Lamb". The Edison Speaking Phonograph Company was established that same the same year. In addition to being an inventor, Edison was a talented promoter and his talent for promotion made his gramophone the most popular player of recorded music. Between the two mentioned patents, a number of inventors worked on similar devices but Edison was the one who prevailed. The Grammy Award is a replica of Edison's most popular phonograph and the name "Grammy" was named for it.
How did Thomas Edison's phonograph work?
Edison's phonograph involved a cylinder covered in a thin sheet of tin foil. Sound was collected by a horn, which caused a diaphragm to vibrate. This was connected to an arm, so when the diaphragm vibrated (because of the sounds) - indents or grooves were made on the foil. This "stored" the sound. In order to playback the sound - the arm went over the grooves, causing the diaphragm to vibrate in the same way it had before. These vibrations reproduced the original sound.
