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.
