'Older by nearly two decades'

The Edison choral recording was made at Crystal Palace in 1888. This new item was made in 1860. 1888 minus 1860 = 28 years, nearly three decades. I have therefore made it say 'nearly three decades'. Eebahgum (talk) 21:08, 28 March 2008 (UTC) My edit has now been reverted. Edison did show the phonograph at Crystal Palace in 1878 but the oldest surviving musical recording, of that Handel chorus, is 1888. The statement as shown is misleading. Eebahgum (talk) 21:14, 28 March 2008 (UTC) [1][reply]

This may not be accurate, as Frank Lambert's talking clock has been dated by some experts to 1878, and its recording remains playable (this is apparently disputed by some, but the cited article is unavailable online). Clevelander96 (talk) 13:07, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NPR-Talk of the Nation - Science Friday - "1860 "Phonautograph" Is Earliest Known Recording" - is an interview with one of the researchers and includes a number of recordings.

Sound sample files

The second of their three sound files on the page, in addition to being slowed down, has had attempts at noise reduction made to it (possibly too much), giving it an over-processed, slightly warbly sound. Perhaps this extra modification should be noted in the caption. TimMagic (talk) 01:17, 2 February 2010 (UTC)TimMagic[reply]

Does anyone know where Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville’s grave is or where he is buried? It will be useful to add. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.71.253.248 (talk) 09:20, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, feel free to use {{help me}}, for example, to ask how to add a specific reference to the article. The volunteers responding to these requests are unlikely to do research on request. I do wish you good luck finding a reliable source; you may like to see WP:RSP for a list of potential pitfalls.
