squeezebox

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.
Accordions (including piano accordions and button accordions) typically have right-hand buttons or keys that play single notes (melody) and left hand buttons that play chords and bass notes.
The bandoneon is a type of concertina particularly popular in South America and Lithuania, frequently featuring in tango ensembles.
Concertinas (including the English concertina, Anglo concertina and bandoneon) play single notes (melody) on both left and right hands.
The Indian harmonium remains an important instrument in many genres of Indian music, stemming from French-made hand-pumped harmoniums being brought to India by missionaries in the mid-19th century.
The flutina is an early precursor to the diatonic button accordion.

    Squeezebox Touch buffering - unusual …..

    I’ve got 2 SB Touches that are obviously a bit long in the tooth but I’m more than happy with the quality - one of them outputs straight into a Quad system (DAC, amps, ESL-63s & Gradients) and still sounds great. However over the last 6 months they have both developed an unusual behaviour (both...

    My Squeezebox Boom display is on the way out, so I'm looking for a replacement which sounds just as good and works well with Logitech Media Server. Does anyone have any recommendations which are available in the UK? Ideally in the sub-£200 price range.

    Suggestions for Replacing Squeezebox Duet

    I have been using a Squeezebox Duet for a number of years. It was modified by a DAC guru in Poland (Lukas Fikus, aka The Lampizator) and he also supplied a really good PSU for it. This is fed into one of his valve-based DACs, and then through a series of good amps/speakers (approx. £25K to buy...
