Wait, maybe Thomas Edison DIDN'T invent the sound recording

@DarkOneLives I would strongly recommend you look more closely into what Edison accomplished. Just because he could organize a team, doesn't make his inventions any less groundbreaking. The phonograph was a massive step forward. People had studied sound waves long before Leon, and there is no way to play those "recordings" back. Big difference between studying vibrations and creating playable recordings.

He calls that intelligible?

When I first heard about this I was sure it was a hoax. Years ago a classical music magazine included with one issue a CD that they claimed was from the 1840s and had "Chopin playing the Minute Waltz", using the same technology, supposedly unearthed at a construction site. It was exposed as a fraud when someone noticed it came out April 1, but many musicologists were convinced it was authentic. We believe what we want to believe.

@luvmyrecords Yup. Stupid journalists. The phonautograph was used to study speech patterns, not as a method of sound recording. @DarkOneLives Edison actually did invent quite a bit. He had help of course. But who knows if Edison had ever even heard of Leon Scott. Just because this came first doesn't mean Edison ripped him off.

@IstvanN1961 Typical Edison, claiming the inventions of others as his own.

@IstvanN1961 Settle down for Christ's sake. Your faith was in a false God.

@IstvanN1961 I didn't see your post, and you said it much better than I did.

I understand that Leon Scott did not intend for these to be heard - he invented this to study vocal patterns visually...in fact, I've read a quote from his writings that says he was against recording the voice for playback. If that's true, the statement that "he just didn't know how to play them" isn't really fair.

I don't watch this video, because I'm French and that I won't understand everything, but the first sound ever recorded is AU CLAIR DE LA LUNE by Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville...

Edison didn't invent squat. He just refined prior inventions and was a good self-promoter.
