The regal is a small portable organ, furnished with beating reeds and having two bellows. The instrument enjoyed its greatest popularity during the Renaissance. It may be seen as the ancestor of the harmonium, the reed organ, and the various varieties of “squeezebox” such as the accordion, the concertina, and the Bandoneón.
