The oldest recording in the world
The oldest recording in the world
- The recording in question was made on June 22, 1878 in St. Louis, United States.
After more than 100 years, the oldest recording in the world was restored (Villagra, 2012). This record was made on a tinfoil cylinder to be played on a phonograph, the standard device of the time. The recording in question was made on June 22, 1878 in St. Louis, United States and restored in 2012. A curiosity is that the capture was made on the same day as the phonograph demonstration. This restoration was possible by making a 3D image of the original sheet, by physicist Carl Haber and a team from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, California. It was decided to use this procedure, since the original material was so old that it could be easily damaged (Rosen, 2012).
