[Gabriel-Joseph] Grenié a développé l'orgue expressif à partir des années 1790, qu'il a breveté et présenté à Paris en 1810. Il a ainsi été le premier à fabriquer un instrument à clavier utilisant exclusivement des anches libres. Cet instrument est à l'origine de l'fr:harmonium et de l'fr:accordéon[1].

[In English: Grenié developed the expressive organ from the 1790s, which he patented and presented in Paris in 1810 . He was thus the first to make a keyboard instrument using exclusively free reeds . This instrument is at the origin of the harmonium and the accordion.]
