concertina, bandoneon/bandonion Explanation: A concertina is a free-reed musical instrument, like the various accordions and the harmonica. It has a bellows, and buttons typically on both ends of it. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concertina -------- As with other members of the concertina family, the bandoneon is held between both hands, with pushing and pulling motions forcing air through its bellows, which is routed through reeds by pressing its buttons. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandoneon |

button squeezebox Explanation: propozycja -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 mins (2015-09-25 19:45:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The Russian button accordeon is BAYAN. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 hrs (2015-09-26 10:42:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The term squeezebox (also squeeze box, squeeze-box) is a colloquial expression referring to any musical instrument of the general class of hand-held bellows-driven free reed aerophones such as the accordion and the concertina. The term is so applied because such instruments are generally in the shape of a rectangular prism or box, and the bellows is operated by squeezing in and drawing out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squeezebox ccccccccccccccc The bayan (Russian: бая́н; IPA: [bɐˈjan]) is a type of chromatic button accordion developed in Russia in the early 20th century and named after the 11th-century bard Boyan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayan_(accordion) |
