What is another name for a barrel organ?

Some people wrongly call it a hurdy-gurdy - but a genuine hurdy-gurdy is a stringed instrument played by rotating a rosined wheel on the strings, individual notes being obtained by keys. What is usually called a barrel organ is in fact a barrel piano and has strings and keys. Confusing isn't it? An actual barrel organ has organ pipes and bellows may also called a street organ and is much smaller than a barrel piano. Nowadays you can buy or make one but it will work with a punched roll like a player piano or even a midi interface rather than the bulky, and very difficult to make, barrel.
