This is a dumb question ("Nonsense, Emmaline," one might say, "The only dumb question is the one left unasked!"), but what the heck is a BOX? It doesn't sound like it would take a lot of talent to be a box player. Anyone who is in the process of moving would find these instruments in abundance. They also come free with pizzas. If you leave the jalapenos and little garlic sauce containers inside, you can make a cool effect by shaking them.
The mention of the pizza box player here the other day reminded me of this little incident reported by Dow a while back - Emmaline, NickP, if you haven't already read it, it might be good for a giggle:
Haha! Speaking of pizza box's when I was in Winnipeg they were teaching people how to play bodhran on a pizza box. And I thought to myself, "Is there really that much of a difference?" !
I find that the term BOX is most often used for two-row accordions. The larger cromatic ones are called accordion, and concertina are simply called "Ha, what the heck! Haven't you pulled it apart yet?"

concertina, or accordian. bit of a vague term really but there you are. the pizza box player regularly frequents our session also.

Also, "squeeze box" (most commonly applied to concertina in these parts), and "button box" (button accordion).

Well, look at it this way: would you rather have someone show up at your local session with a pizza box, or a bodhran?
I beat the life out every box near me before I finally bought a bodhran.
I guess to answer your question, yes, there is a really big difference! (you were kidding, right?)

I would say a goatskin is smellier than a triple garlic pizza and tastes about the same.
