In July 1877, while developing his telephone transmitter, Thomas Edison conceived the idea of recording and playing back telephone messages. After experimenting with a telephone "diaphragm having an embossing point & held against paraffin paper moving rapidly," he found that the sound "vibrations are indented nicely" and concluded "there's no doubt that I shall be able to store up & reproduce automatically at any future time the human voice perfectly." Edison periodically returned to this idea, and by the end of November, he had developed a basic design. The first phonograph consisted of grooved cylinder mounted on a long shaft with a screw pitch of ten threads per inch and turned by a hand crank. Instead of paraffined paper, Edison used a piece of tin foil wrapped around the cylinder as a recording surface. The first phonograph had separate recording and playback mechanisms, but later designs combined them into a single unit.
He invented the phonograph record and record player.
The Victorian music player, often associated with the early mechanical music devices like the music box and the phonograph, can be attributed to several inventors. The phonograph was invented by Thomas Edison in 1877, which allowed for the recording and playback of sound. However, music boxes, which were popular in the Victorian era, had been developed earlier in the 18th century, with significant contributions from various craftsmen. These innovations collectively shaped the landscape of music playback during the Victorian period.

On Time-Tangled Island in the game "Putt-Putt Travels Through Time," the phonograph is located in the 1920s section of the island. You can find it in the park area, where it plays music when you interact with it. To progress in the game, you need to use the phonograph to help restore the timeline.

he invented the tin wrapped foil that was able to be played on the phonograph and in 1973
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 tin foil phonograph helps by demonstrating sound vibrations being recorded on a surface. When sound waves cause the needle to vibrate and indent the tin foil, it creates a physical record of the sound wave pattern. This concept eventually led to the development of modern recording technologies.
Thomas Edison invented the phonograph.
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.

he invented it in 1887 exactly
his name was Thomas Edison.
Thomas Edison invented tin wrapped cylinders played on a phonograph in the late 19th century. These cylinders eventually gave way to the more popular flat discs developed by Emile Berliner.
Thomas Edison invented it in 1877.
