In the picture at:
http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/images.jsp?artid=215&letter=M&imgid=1273
in the lower left hand section, there are a group of musicians with the
women, and then someone carrying an object under his right arm. It looks
like he is cranking it with his left hand. Is that some sort of musicial
instrument?

The round object behind the players arm might be a fan, suggesting that the
instrument is a hand-cranked barrel organ.
