he was 38
This was a tin foil phonograph. The phonograph played cylinders and not disks which led to his discovery that he could playback messages via this invention.
The light bulb!
Thomas Edison invented his tin-foil phonograph, Edison's phonograph was followed by Alexander Graham Bell's graphophone. In 1887 Emile Berliner invented the gramophone and records.
The first recording made by Thomas Edison was "Mary Had a Little Lamb" on a tin foil phonograph in 1877.
Edison's first great invention was the tin foil phonograph made in Menlo Park on August 12, 1877
Thomas Edisons phonograph (gramophone) was the first device invented that could play recorded audio. The first sound recording device was the phonautograph, invented by Eduoard Leon-Scott in 1857, people had also found was to record audio onto foil, but the phonograph was the first audio reciprocation device.
Thomas Edison made numerous discoveries, but some of his most notable ones include the invention of the phonograph, the practical electric light bulb, and the motion picture camera. These inventions revolutionized entertainment, communication, and lighting technology. Edison held over 1,000 patents in various fields, demonstrating his wide range of discoveries.
Thomas Edison had many inventions that are still in use today. These inventions include the tin foil phonograph, the incandescent light bulb, electricity, the motion picture player, and many others.

he invented the tin wrapped foil that was able to be played on the phonograph and in 1973
The phonograph was invented by Thomas Edison in 1877. It consisted of a rotating cylinder wrapped in tinfoil, a diaphragm that captured sound vibrations, and a stylus that etched grooves into the foil to reproduce sound when played back. This invention marked the beginning of recorded sound technology.
It is pretty much agreed that the first invention of Thomas Edison was a tin foil phonograph. The idea came to him while working to improve the efficiency of the telegraph. He noticed that if the telegraph sounds were played at a high rate of speed the sounds resembled words.
