	Chemnitzer concertina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Chemnitzer concertina is a musical instrument of the hand-held bellows-driven free-reed category, sometimes called squeezeboxes, although some performers consider the term "squeezebox" to be derogatory.
		Like other concertinas, the buttons travel in a direction approximately parallel to the motion of the bellows, whereas the keys and buttons of an accordion move roughly perpendicular to the motion of the bellows.
		The Chemnitzer concertina has been predominantly used in folk music, especially Polka music played in Central and Eastern Europeans and by nineteen- and twentieth century immigrants to the United States from those regions.
