A demonstration of recording on a tinfoil phonograph, as invented by Edison in 1877. The phonograph seen here is an exact replica of an all-brass exhibition machine as made by Bergmann in late 1878. This replica was built by the late Bill Ptacek. It's a massive phonograph, weighing 125 pounds. For a more detailed public exhibition of this same machine, see www.youtube.com

On 5th October 1888 (yes, you read that year right), Sir Arthur Sullivan was present at a "phonograph party". At this event, he made a recording of his own voice to send to Thomas Edison (who had the idea that the phonograph may be used in a way similar to the letter). His comments are made having heard various recordings played to him at the event. Also, earlier in 1888, a press conference was played a recording of Sullivan's "The Lost Chord" (amongst others). This recording is thought to be the same recording, made in 1888, and is performed by anonymous artists on cornet and piano. While not all that interesting musically, the recording is of supreme historical interst as being the first properly listenable recording of music ever made. One musical observation I have is to note the restrained attitude towards rubato - the presumably British players don't seem to be indulging in the sometimes wayward rhythmic tos and fros of the Austro-German piano school in this recording. There is still a degree of non-sychronisation between cornet melody and piano accomaniment though, typical of the treatment of melody and accompaniment in piano solo recordings from a few years later. Anyway, afterwards (the cylinder runs out before the work has been completed, and irritatingly just as it starts to rise to its climax) you hear Sullivan's voice from the other event. He is first introduced, and then makes the following speech - rather perspicacious all things considered!: Dear Mr <b>...</b>

Part 2 with SIX Pokéwalkers: www.youtube.com As I had to erase the approximately 12000 steps I had taken on my Pokéwalker due to the Saturday to Monday broadcast, I decided I'd try to find a good way to fake those 12000 back. This is my method. Using a phonograph (also known as a record player) and a piece of packing tape, I was able to get the Pokéwalker to automatically accumulate steps. If you attempt this, do NOT tape it to a record unless you do not care what's on it; instead, tape it to the platter. Also, tilt one side of the player up sideways. Without this, the device won't register any vertical movement and thus won't increment the step counter. 78 speed works best. Don't use duct tape, because that will leave a sticky residue on both the Pokéwalker and the phonograph platter. Clear packing tape works best, but ordinary cellophane tape might work as well.

Built in late 1895 by the American Graphophone Company, Washington, DC and sold as the 'Bijou'. The wax cylinder was recorded in 1897. Announcement: "Waltz: La Serenata, played by the Columbia Orchestra, for the Columbia Phonograph Company of New York City." Very early 19th century phonographs are usually sounding very primitive compared to machines of later (post-1900) manufacture. This phonograph shows all the glory of imperfection such as motor wow and flutter, tracking errors and very limited volume. This phonograph is not a machine I would recommend to start collecting with. If you never heard a cylinder phonograph playing you definitely should also listen to my 1903-06 Excelsior Phonograph video which gives a good playback quality example of what a post-1900 cylinder phonograph should sound like. The sound you hear was captured with a studio microphone and therefore gives a true and unmodified impression how this phonograph sounds in reality.

On Friday 29th June 1888, from 2pm, a performance of Handel's oratorio Israel in Egypt was captured on a number of wax cylinder recordings. This performance was part of the trienniel Handel Festivals mounted in the UK. They were recorded from the press gallery in Crystal Palace by Edison-representative Colonel Gouraud, as a way to test and show off Edison's phonograph. Three of these cylinders still survive. The conductor was Sir August Manns, conducting an orchestra of some 500 musicians and a choir of over 4000 voices, in front of an audience of 23722 people. These are the earliest deliberate recordings of music known to exist (earlier recordings from the 1870s are considered lost). Fortunately these can be played back at a quite definite pitch, as we know the pitch of the Crystal Palace organ at this time. Unfortunately, the recordings are in very poor shape, audibly speaking. You are going to have a very hard time grappling with the sound, and trying to make out anything. Each cylinder contains a number of tracks. This is what you are hearing: Cylinder 1 (0:00 - 2:27) - The first text is "[Mo]ses, and the children of Israel sung unto the Lord and spake saying", from the chorus at the opening of Part II (very hard to hear the orchestra in this). Following this is "I will sing unto the Lord for he hath triumphed" from the next number in Part II (you should be able to hear the altos and tenors singing at the start of this). Near the end you might make out the word <b>...</b>

This is my Victrola VV-35 phonograph. It was made October 15, 1924 by the Victor Talking Machine Company. The VV-35 was the second-generation of Victor portable phonographs. Introduced in 1924, it was a popular choice for people on the go, replacing Victor's more expensive first portable model, the VV-50. Unlike it's predecessor, this phonograph used a fabric cover over the wood case. Internal storage was provided for up to 10 records, and the single-spring motor provided ample power to play 2 records on a single winding. Production lasted for only 2 years, and this model was discontinued with the introduction of the improved VV 1-5 and 1-6 models in 1926. The original 1924 selling price of the VV-50 was $30.00. An estimated total of 60000 Victrola 50's were produced. Thanks for checking out my video! If you like what you see, please leave a comment, give it a thumbs up, and subscribe!

Another real historic recording. William Ewart Gladstone, often regarded as one of the greatest British Prime Minister, recorded his greetings (Salutation) to Edison, on a Yellow Parafine Wax Cylinder (later moulded to a Blue Amberol copy), December 18th, 1888. The original Cylinder is now preserved in Edison National Historic Site in New Jersey, USA. (NHS Object Catalogue number : EDIS -SRP-39852) Here is the transcription of the recording. CHARLES GOURAUD : London, 18th December 1888. To Edison from Colonel Gouraud, introducing Mr Gladstone. The Phonograph Salutation. The latest-born of science and American genius bends its knee of steel and bows its neck of iron in reverential homage before the veteran statesman of England. Mr Gladstone, the phonograph salutes you, and through the medium of the phonograph, Mr Edison greets you. Now, Edison, listen to a voice that has electrified its generation - the voice of William Ewart Gladstone; GLADSTONE: Dear Mr Edison, I am profoundly indebted to you for, not the entertainment only, but the instruction and the marvels of one of the most remarkable evenings which it has been my privilege to enjoy. The request, that you have done me the honour to make - to receive the record of my voice - is one that I cheerfully comply with so far as it lies in my power; though I lament to say that the voice which I transmit to you is only the relic of an organ, the employment of which has been overstrained.

I have dug deep into my Edison Diamond Disc collection and found a few favorites that I bought many years ago. This one features the fabulous Golden Gate Orchestra recording one of their most difficult to find Edison recordings, "Button Up Your Overcoat". I searched for 20 years before finding this elusive Edison record. Jack Parker,"Happy Jack", is featured on vocals. The phonograph is a very early A-250 model with the button type start/stop and sound vents on the cabinet sides. I replaced the original reproducer with a rebuilt (by the late Bob Waltrip) nickel plated Edisonic. I hope that you enjoy it!

"Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration" -- Thomas Edison The life of Thomas Edison is a true "rags to riches" story. Through hard work and determination, he helped in creating the modern world in which we live today. Considered to be the greatest inventor of his or any time, Edison's wonderful inventions were a driving force of the Industrial Revolution. From the stock ticker to the phonograph; from the light bulb to motion pictures, his inventions guided America into the 20th Century. You will learn about: Edison's childhood in Ohio, where he first began experimenting. His days as a newspaper boy for the Grand Trunk Railway. His first invention that was to become his first failure. The Invention Factory at Menlo Park, where Edison's ideas became reality. The Pearl St. Power Station and the birth of the electric lighting industry in America. The Black Maria-the world's first movie studio...and much more.
Here's an Edison phonograph recording, freshly made at the London Dorkbot Christmas party, December 2009. Dorkbot is a meeting for 'people doing strange things with electricity' so the phonograph is an odd guest as it records and playback sounds using no electricity at all. As you can see when I lift the lid, this machine is entirely mechanical. You turn up a handle to wind up a spring. This unfurls over several minutes, supplying the Edison with turning energy. Sound recordings are made using nothing more than a heavy stylus and a horn: To make this recording, I fitted an Edison record head (which cuts a groove in the cylinder). Assorted volunteers took turns to shout, sing or beat box (!) into the horn of the phonograph so their voices could be immortalised in wax. After dusting away the swarf with a camel hair brush, I replaced the play head and rested its stylus in the groove. Then we listened intently for sounds... Although it's very brittle, the cylinder survived the journey from Limehouse to Brighton. Here, you can see me playing it again, back in my office. The cylinder has been played three times before this session - its sound quality will deteriorate with repeat playing, as the groove gets rubbed away by the playback stylus. On playback, the sound is loud enough to fill a small room. Thanks to Colin Uttley for the camerawork.

Here is another prized record from my collection played on my pre-dog top wind Victor Talking Machine Type 'A' phonograph. Recorded on October 29, 1900, this is the rarely found 7-inch "Improved Gram-O-Phone Record" manufactured by The Consolidated Talking Machine Company of Philadelphia, PA. The selection is "When Reuben Comes To Town" By Dan W. Quinn. This label represents the very FIRST printed paper label affixed to a record thus improving readability. In August 1900, well before formation of the Victor Talking Machine Company, Eldridge Johnson first struck out on his own by forming the short lived Consolidated Talking Machine Company of Philadelphia. This would be Johnson's very first venture into the manufacture of Talking Machines and records. In a matter of just a few months his fledgling Consolidated Talking Machine Company would be required to remove the word "Gram-O-Phone" from the record label as a result of litigation by competitor Frank Seaman and his Universal Talking Machine (Zonophone) Company. In doing so Johnson created a new label indicating only "Improved Record" making himself manufacturer and halted production of the Improved Gram-O-Phone Record label. Therefore, records pressed on this pioneering, short lived label are quite rare. I hope that you enjoy this selection in spite of the rather typical noisy beginning. The playing surface improves following the recorded announcement making the record much more enjoyable thereafter. Thanks for stopping <b>...</b>

Be sure to catch the splendid vocal refrain in the second half of this rather unusual "Fox Trot & Song" Edison Diamond Disc record. This delightful recording is basically a humorous "Dig" at the primitive Radio sets and quality of radio broadcasting of the 1920's. It's a really fun listen with a nice jazzy arrangement. I hope that you enjoy it.

An unusual 1901 coin-op with Edison mechanism. Notice the very unusual coin chute, which requires that the penny jump into the cup from the bottom of the ramp. This was a crude by effective slug rejector. The magnet would deflect steel slugs, while only coins of the correct weight would jump across the gap without missing.
Here is my video showing my old VM phonograph from the early 1950s. My parents bought this for me when I was a little kid and I listened to it daily for years. You'll also see (and hear) an old "Little Wonder" record from 1908: "The Arkansas Traveler". Here's the back story: VM was founded in June 1944 by Walter Miller in Benton Harbor, Michigan. The company originally manufactured only 78 rpm record changers and labeled them simply as a "VM Product". The brand name "Voice of Music" was suggested by a VM engineer and first used in 1952. After 1965, the trend became clear that American audio companies were going out of business or shifting production overseas. As VM's record changer volumes declined, it became difficult for the company to remain profitable. Retailing began to change from small "mom and pop" stores (VM's strength) to large electronics retailers where VM was under-represented. The end came in July, 1977 when a power failure in New York prevented a wire transfer of critically needed funds, and the company declared bankruptcy. Little Wonder Records was a United States record label from 1914 through 1923. Little Wonders were lateral-cut single sided 5½ inch gramophone records. The records contained only about 1½ to 2 minutes of music. The small size of the discs (together with the cherubic face on later versions of the label) has led some record collectors to incorrectly assume that Little Wonders were made as children's records; they were actually made for the <b>...</b>

You record your own voice on a plastic cup -- and play it back! Here's how it works, your voice vibrates the air minutely when it gets into the horn. Then the vibration is conducted to the needle and is translated into a wavy movement of the needle and carves a groove onto the cup.
