Forget iPods, MP3s, CDs, or even cassettes and vinyl. Here's how Thomas Edison first recorded sound 130-years ago - using wax cylinders. Duncan Miller of The Vulcan Cylinder Record Company, of Sheffield, England, UK, runs one of only two functioning cylinder phonograph companies in the world. Here he explains how it works, recording Vaudeville ukulele player Madame Pamita and Sheffield musician Tom Rodwell. Video courtesy of The Star.

Wouldn't it make more sense to say this is a photograph..and not a painting?A photograph being... reality captured... a painting being infinitely modifiable... like modern recording.

If you were to place the quality of the wax recording in terms of an MP3, it sounds like about 16kbps.

I wonder if this guy could clean up that of "Funky Butt" granpa left behind. Supposedly came from pre WW1 "Nwalins".

So the cylinder recording is cut by a phonograph and played back by a gramophone, correct?

I think it's wonderful that this company exists. Who knew you could still have a recording made on a cylinder, in the 21st century?

I should say with no bell, a cone horn. Full Band recording, to capture the full sound I have used a 56" brass horn, and sometimes with vocal put a Y in and have the smaller horn off to the side for the vocalist, while instruments are pointed at the larger horn. I have used a cygnet horn and have made decent recordings with them for male baritone/tenor voice playing an acoustic guitar. See is depends on the record you want.

Horns depend on what kind of a record you are taking and what sound you want. Duncan is using the correct horn for this recording situation, since the uke and female voice have very high frequencies, a skinny short horn works the best for this purpose. High frequencies tend to get lost on the journey down the diaphragm so a short horn is best for these. Most original acoustic recordings were made with a 27" long horn with the bell about 6" in diameter. Band with no vocal a 56" horn.

I think:Why wasnt this invented 100red years earlier?From mechanical point they could have done it. Why didnt the Chinese invent a man-carrying hot-air-ballon? They had smaller ones for thousand years.Also paper,silk,bambus.Because there was no need? BTW: It took nearly 50 years from this first records to a industrial mass-market.

I wonder, could cylinders be made of vinyl? Would they have more durability or sound quality like that?

They should try recording songs on cylinders made of dried flavoured gelatin.

Phonophan79 may simply have used a better video camera and microphone, it's really impossible to compare these types of recordings when they are shown here as videos shot on wildly differing cameras. For cylinder recording info, get Eric Reiss's book The Compleat Phonograph.

You only use straight horns for recording with (albeit different sizes and widths depending on the sounds you're collecting) but you NEVER use curved horns for recording, ONLY for reproducing sound.
