An accordion has keys on one side arranged like a piano, and buttons on the 
other side. An English concertina has buttons on both side, and the 
arrangement is unlike a piano. Does it qualify as pipno? What about a pipe 
organ in which air is pumped through the pipes? How about "birpi'o"?

I think that "pambyzgitci" (or more precisely "pambyxagri") includes the 
uilleann pipes, but not Highland pipes without non-return valves.
