Peter Wyper

Peter Wyper (1861 in Lanarkshire, Scotland – 1920) was a player of the diatonic button accordion (or ''melodeon''), and is believed to be the first person to ever be recorded playing the accordion, which he did on wax cylinder in 1903. Peter and his brother Daniel Wyper (b. 1872) recorded together as the Wyper Brothers, performing Scottish and Irish music. Provided by Wikipedia
