The term Squeezebox is a
colloquial expression referring to any
musical instrument of the general class of hand-held
bellows-driven
free reed aerophones. 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. Some consider squeezebox to be a derogatory term, although no concise English term exists
to replace it.
