1903 Edison Phonograph Recording Demo | Maker Faire Detroit

Senior Conservator at The Henry Ford, Clara Deck, demonstrates recording on a historic 1903 Edison Standard Phonograph. These phonographs used a stylus to cut into wax cylinders — literally "cutting a record."

Join us for Maker Faire Detroit where you too can record onto a historic Edison phonograph!
