Alexandre-François Debain (6 July 1809 - 3 December 1877) was a French inventor who developed the harmonium. He made a new action system and patented it in Paris in 1842. The instrument in this recording doesn't have the standard layout yet. So it must have been made before 1842.

Mooi Erik Jan! Verbazend altijd hoe boventoonrijk die vroege harmoniums klinken.
