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.
