Unless you're well-informed about old music players, or were around in the late 1800s, perhaps you wouldn't recognise this cylinder as being a record for a phonograph. The phonograph was invented by Thomas Edison in 1877 and is different to a gramophone in that its records are (as you can see) cylinders whereas gramophone records are round vinyl disks. Remember those?

Anyway, I found this record in the De Oude Drostdy building that I mentioned in yesterday's article. Below are four more photos that I took in one of the De Oude Drostdy's rooms - the first is of an actual Edison phonogram (awesome hey), then a gramophone needle, followed by two gramophones.
