HERE'S THE "WHITE ELEPHANT"

Here's a picture of the inside of the box. Now you can plainly see what the accordion really looks like. (Thanks Paul for the correct guess!) Note the straps, they go over your arms and you can then play this instrument while on the go or just hold it on your lap and play. I don't have an instruction book or anything, as it is rather old. I guess I'll need to get one and figure out how to play it. It makes some great sounds. By the way it is also known as a "squeeze box".
