Since the 1850’s humans have pushed the technological envelope, trying to capture and replay music. Thomas Edison invented the phonograph cylinder in 1877, it quickly evolved from a piece of thin tin wrapped around a cylinder to a wax cylinder and in 1889, the first pre-recorded cylinders were available for sale. This ability to capture a performance and enjoy it at any time later in our own homes, set us on a journey to refine and hone the technology available to us to further the art of recorded music playback.
