Phonographia - Memorabilia of the Phonograph

Welcome to Phonographia™ home of PhonoArt™, PhonoLinks™, The Talking Toy Hall of Fame™ and the Phono-Society Friends of the Phonograph™ On December 6, 1877 a revolution began, culturally and in rpms, when Thomas Alva Edison, John Kruesi and Charles Batchelor completed work on Edison's new invention, the Phonograph. This tin-foil playing machine would be taken the next day to the offices of *Scientific American.* An account of that day's successful demonstration was published in the December 22 issue of *Scientific American. and for the next 125 years the Phonograph's needle remained "in the groove".

Phonographia are Phonograph Connections

All connections to the phonograph are in scope for Phonographia.com, however, this site focuses on cultural and artistic associations with the phonograph. History, of course, also has its place and two dates are particularly significant for Friends of the Phonograph: The Frenchman Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville's April 9, 1860 recording of Au Claire de la lune, celebrated as the birthday of the recording of sound and Edison's December 6 invention of the Phonograph, celebrated as the birthday of recording and reproduction of sound. In the end, it's all part of Phonographia, so enjoy its magic and its legacy, in words, sounds and images.
