Subject: RE: What are other names for the accordion?
Quetschn (Bavarian, engl: squeezebox)

Schifferklavier (German, engl:seaman's piano)

Ziehharmonika (German, engl:pull harmonica)

Bob,
German button accordion armonica Triestina (which mistakenly atributes it to the Italians).
Not necessarily. Triest was part of Germany/Austria during its history so it depends on what moment in history the expression "armonica Triestina" was invented.
