  From  Webster's  Revised  Unabridged  Dictionary  (1913)  [web1913]: 
 
  Seraphine  \Ser"a*phine\,  n.  [From  {Seraph}.]  (Mus.) 
  A  wind  instrument  whose  sounding  parts  are  reeds,  consisting 
  of  a  thin  tongue  of  brass  playing  freely  through  a  slot  in  a 
  plate.  It  has  a  case,  like  a  piano,  and  is  played  by  means  of 
  a  similar  keybord,  the  bellows  being  worked  by  the  foot.  The 
  melodeon  is  a  portable  variety  of  this  instrument.
