  • Comments:
    • Some tracks on The Complete Songs of Robert Burns, Volume 3 credit a musician with "Box", which from the sound is a kind of accordion (see edits 7546921 & 7547611). Since other tracks on the same releases credit that same musician with "accordion", it seems that "box" is intended to refer to a specific instrument rather than it simply being a generic name for an accordion. -- TimVanHolder 20:00, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
      • Looks like this may also be a Sruti Box (also http://www.shrutibox.com/), and Indian harmonium-like instrument (see 8704118). -- TimVanHolder 21:00, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
      • Actually, a box is most often used as a generic term for double (or single (or, in rare instances, triple)) rowed button accordions (which are, AFAIK, always diatonic). -- FrederikSOlesen 17:41, 05 May 2008 (UTC)
