You invented the phonograph who are you?

I don't exactly understand what you are asking ... but I will try to answer. Thomas Edison is the original inventor of the phonograph on November 20, 1887. Although, after the patent for Edison's phonograph expired many other companies began competing with Edison's phonograph company, and came up with different names for them such as the Gramophone. :) Hope that helps!
