Talk:Melodeon (organ)

"Cat melodeon" etymology speculation?
Is there any possible relation between this phrase and the cat organ?

If the phrase is Irish, the type of instrument being referred to is probably a button accordion rather than the subject of the article.    ←   ZScarpia  14:47, 21 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Agreed. The connection with single-row accordions is made clear by the discussion of the phrase in the book Last Night's Fun by Ciaran Carson. The reference belongs (if it belongs anywhere) in diatonic button accordion. Spinaci (talk) 03:13, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
