Reed Music Instruments 簧片音乐 - Christian Gottlieb Kratzenstein - Speaking machine (1780) 语音机

In 1780, Christian Gottlieb Kratzenstein published a “speaking machine” in St. Petersburg that could speak the vowels a,e,i,o,u.

Kratzenstein developed a new free reed technology for the machine. This new Free Reed technique is always referred to by scholars as the first Free Reed technique developed in Europe.

Whether a Chinese Sheng or a Laotian Khene had an influence on this free reed technique is the subject of much debate among scholars.

If you want to find out more about it, watch the video part 21 of my Sheng series.

There are no drawings of the speaking machine, and the machine did not survive the test of time either, it disappeared or burned in a fire.

My 3D models are based on drawings I found on the internet that could possibly represent Kratzenstein's speaking machine.

I also made 3D models of the technical drawings of the pipes and resonators of the speaking machine, which can be found in the following report:

I have also added two renders of my own attempts at 3D models of the technical drawings

1780年，克里斯蒂安·戈特利布·克拉森斯坦（Christian Gottlieb Kratzenstein）在圣彼得堡发表了一台“说话机器”，可以说出元音a、e、i、o、u。

Kratzenstein 为该机器开发了一种新的自由簧片技术。 这种新的自由簧片技术一直被学者们称为欧洲开发的第一个自由簧片技术。

中国的笙或老挝的Khene是否对这种自由簧片技术产生了影响，这是学者们争论最多的话题。

没有关于说话机器的图纸，该机器也没有经受住时间的考验，它消失了或在火灾中被烧毁。

我的 3D 模型基于我在互联网上找到的图纸，这些图纸可能代表 Kratzenstein 的说话机器。

我还制作了发声机的管道和谐振器的技术图纸的3D模型，可以在以下报告中找到：
