Peter Wyper (Lanarkshire, Scotland, 1861[1] - 1920) was a player of the diatonic button accordion (or melodeon),[2] believed to have been 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]
