The Invention of the Phonograph (Part 2)
Welcome back to Mike’s Nerd Bytes—Snack-Size Bytes of Tech, Science, and More! I’m your host, Mike Maione, and today, we’re diving into Part 2 of the phonograph’s story—a journey of innovation, competition, and, yes, even a bit of drama. When we last left off, Thomas Edison had invented the phonograph in 1877, but the device had a lot of room for improvement. The tin foil cylinders were fragile, and the sound quality left much to be desired. This is where competition comes in. Enter Alexander Graham Bell and his cousin, Chichester Bell, along with their associate, Charles Tainter. They developed the graphophone in 1880, which replaced Edison’s tin foil with wax cylinders. This was a game-changer. Wax was far more durable and produced clearer recordings. Thanks for tuning in to Mike’s Nerd Bytes!
