The phonograph, or gramophone, was the most common device for playing recorded sound from the 1870s through the 1980s. In the sound recording industry, a stylus is a phonograph or gramophone needle used to play back sound on gramophone records, as well as to record the sound indentations on the master record. It is a crucial part of the phonograph, as it is the one part of the system that actually contacts the recorded disc and transfers its vibrations to the rest of the system.
The phonograph, or gramophone, was the most common device for playing recorded sound from the 1870s through the 1980s. They continue to be manufactured and sold into the 21st century, although in small numbers. While there are many audiophiles who still prefer vinyl records over digital music sources (primarily compact disc) for their perceived fidelity, they represent an enthusiastic minority of listeners. The quality of the available record players, tonearms, and cartridges has continued to improve, despite a diminishing market.

Thanks for being who you are, for doing what you do, we wouldn’t be here without you and your marvellous imaginations. So now we’re going to Double Your Earnings! Any sale you make over the next 3 days will earn you double your margin, up to a maximum 20%. It all happens automatically but if you want to know how it works you can find some details below.

So if you sell a t-shirt and normally have a 20% markup you’d receive US$3.99, (20% of US$19.95 base price) so now we’ll double that to US$7.98. (US$3.99 + US$3.99, 20% + 20%) / And if you normally sell a t-shirt with a 30% markup, you’d receive US$5.99, (30% of US$19.95 base price) so now we’ll increase that to US$9.98.

Because I reckon I’m quite good at choosing friends I occasionally find myself in the situation that occurred today at lunch, when I had a quick bite to eat with a close associate and he randomly gave me a ‘Gakken New Edison-Style Cup Phonograph Kit’ which Is about the coolest thing I’ve been given since I got arms. Basically it’s like a proper phonograph, except it records onto plastic cups, obviously. You just have to set the motor turning and shout into the cone, you get about 50 seconds of recording time, and then you can play them back again. And because my friend is a smart fucker, he got one too, so I can record him a thank-you rap-cup and post it to him for playback at his leisure. I recommend you all get one. Way more fun than email. / / / /

Sometimes, noise can pierce the eardrums … This gives all the power, energy and strength to music. Personally, this is how I like music : the fact that we can sometimes materialize in space and feel physically gave me the idea of this t-shirt. The word “perce-oreille” (earwig) is written in phonetic … because I found it more graphic.

This is the white version of the original design. It was also my first time using a new photoshop action (to remove the white from my pencil drawing). I then inverted the colours to make it white. I’m so proud of this. I hope you all like it. It’s loosely inspired by Dr. Seuss. I Made it to enter into the new redbubble-wide challenge called Music Machines ...but I entered the original, not this one. Congrats to the Top 20 This is for everybody who loves music. / Enjoy.

This phonograph has been in my family for nearly 100 years. As a child it kept me entertained for hours on end on rainy days. My grandfather restored the cabinetry and reconditioned the works and it still plays so well that my son used a recording of one of the cylinders as an opening and closin track for his punk band ‘Downtrodn’ a few years ago. I have nearly 100 cylinders in the collection today, but I’m always looking for more and especially for a replacement stylus as the present one is the original. Thomas A. Edison invented the phonograph, the first device for recording and playing back sound, in 1877. After inventing and patenting the phonograph, Edison and his laboratory turned their attention to the commercial development of (electric lighting), playing no further role in the development of the phonograph for a decade. / The earliest phonograph was something of a crude curiosity, although it was one that fascinated much of the public. Early machines were sold to entrepreneurs who made a living out of traveling around the country giving “phonograph concerts” and demonstrating the device for a fee at fairs. “Talking dolls” and “Talking clocks” were manufactured as expensive novelties using the early phonograph. / The start of the commercial record industry / In 1887 Edison Labs turned their attention back to improving the phonograph and the phonograph cylinder. / In 1888 the Edison company debuted the Perfected Phonograph, Edison produced wax cylinders 4 inches (10 cm) long, 2 inches in diameter, playing some 2 minutes of music or entertainment, which became the industry standard. Experimental music records were made around this time. The “brown wax” cylinder made its debut in March/April 1889. “Electric Light Quadrille” by Issler’s Orchestra (external link) is an example of an 1889 brown wax cylinder (Superbatone #734—”The Real Sound of Ragtime”). / Blank records were an important part of the business early on. Most phonographs had or could be fitted with attachments for the users to make their own recordings. One important early use, in line with the original term for a phonograph as a “talking machine”, was in business for recording dictation. Attachments were added to facilitate starting, stopping, and skipping back the recording for dictation and playback by stenographers. The business phonograph eventually evolved into a separate device from the home entertainment phonograph. Edison Record’s brand of business phonograph was called The Ediphone; see Phonograph cylinder and Dictaphone. Edison also holds the achievement of being one of the first companies to record the first African-American quartet to record: The Unique Quartette.
