Spanish term or phrase: caja de un armonio
A box of a pump organ? Is the part called a box in English? A sounding box??

Según el testimonio de su amigo en París, el artista compra un armonio que tocaba en “el hueco de una escalera caracol, una especie de descanso donde apenas podía moverse con sus largas piernas… se enroscaba en su caja para hacerle sonar acordes…”

Thanks
