A phonograph and an Edison Victrola are not the same, though they are related. The phonograph, invented by Thomas Edison in 1877, was the first device to record and reproduce sound. The Edison Victrola, introduced later, was a specific brand of phonograph that combined a turntable with a built-in speaker and was designed for home use. Essentially, while all Victrolas are phonographs, not all phonographs are Victrolas.

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.

Who invented the phonogram?

The term "phonogram" was not invented by a single person. It is a linguistic term derived from Greek roots meaning "sound-written" and is used to refer to a symbol representing a sound or a combination of sounds. Phonograms have been used in various writing systems throughout history, evolving over time to represent the sounds of different languages.


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.
