✅ SOLVED Pic of a woman with a ... music instrument?

[paulb104]

I've got a dag of a woman sitting with an item and I'm wondering what the item is.

I thought it might be an accordion but I cannot find any devices that have keys like this one does.

Anyone have an idea?

Thanks

my guess is an accordion of some type. in the pic, the bellows are probably collapsed all the way making the instrument appear more compact. kind of like the one on this link... accord?on romantique diatonique XIX?me si?cle d'?poque Charles X

French Flutina??

That's it, a flutina, and probably a higher end model with extra keys, like the one on the bottom on this page EARLY MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS - MUSIC TREASURES - REFERENCES TO MISCELLANEOUS ANTIQUE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS - EARLYMUSICALINSTRUMENTS.COM - MUSIC-TREASURES.COM

Thanks again, as usual!
