Summary
| Description |
Tin foil, 1870s Tin foil was the first material successfully used to record music. It was soft enough for delicate sound waves to be etched into its surface, yet hard enough to be traced over with a needle to play back the sounds. But it wasn’t perfect. Tin foil ripped, and it could be played only a few times before the groves wore down. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks. |
