Compare earlier harmonica n.The instrument was invented by J. N. Maelzel, who described it in 1800 without giving it a name, and first exhibited in 1805. It was copied by J. J. Gurk, who exhibited it in Germany and England in 1810 and 1811. Quot. 1811 is from an advertising feature. It has not been possible to confirm the attribution of the remark to Haydn.
