The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

It's great that the original Kruesi model of December 1877 has been completed again. You now have a much better idea of how the sound recording was done.

However, I would like to mention that this was not Edison's first phonograph, but the first patented tinfoil phonograph. It would be helpful to be more precise at this point. Edison's patented other phonograph models, that worked on different principles, already in October 1877. I wrote about it in The Antique Phonograph of December 2012, pp. 3-6, and also in this forum: http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewto ... 55&start=0

It is still great to see that machine returned to it's former glory. A nice piece of history to show people where there IPhone ear buds started from. It is amazing the progress that has happened in a relativity short time. Tom

Very cool Rene and thanks for posting. Were you involved at all in the project?

Did Bill Miller's reproduction include a mouthpiece?

It would be interesting to know how and where it survived all these years. I mean, was it ever in the private hands? Was it ever "lost" at anytime, etc?
