Peter Wyper (1861 in Lanarkshire, Scotland[1] – 1920) was a player of the diatonic button accordion (or melodeon),[2] and is believed to be the first person to ever be recorded playing the accordion, which he did on wax cylinder in 1903.[1] Peter and his brother Daniel Wyper (b. 1872[3]) recorded together as the Wyper Brothers, performing Scottish and Irish music.[4]
