Overview

It seems unfathomable in our age of digital music streaming, but if you wanted to listen to music prior to the mid 1800s, you had only one option: live. This changed in 1877 when Thomas Edison unveiled his revolutionary invention: the phonograph - a machine that used cylinders to record and reproduce sound. It wasn’t the first device to record and play back audio, but it was the first ‘reliable’ one: distorted and nearly inaudible by today’s standards, but it worked. Soon after, Emile Berliner invented the flat disk record and the world of recorded sound was changed forever.
