The Accordion can also be referred to as the melodeon or squeezebox. In Ireland, a one row accordion is referred to as a melodeon while in the United States these Musical Instruments are referred to as accordions. In the United Kingdom, accordions with two or three rows of buttons on the right-hand side are likely to be referred to as melodeons.
