In 1962, Chahine recorded a vinyl record with typical Oriental music. Among the composers drawn to Chahine's microtonal instrument were Aloys Hába (1893–1973), Mohammed Abdel Wahab and (1922–). His family still owns a large music store in Beirut. His great-granddaughter Zeina Abirached has published a comicbook, Le piano oriental, about a character inspired by him. (en)
