Sheng 笙 series - Neu Tschiang (New Sheng 1829)

In 1829 an instrument named Neu Tschiang appeared in the AMZ
(Germany, Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung 29 July, No.30).
The instrument was invented and built by Mr. Reichstein zu Gnadenfeld von Schlesien.
The report was written by the acoustician Friedrich Mehwald,
to whom the instrument was sent for inspection.
Friedrich Mehwald describes the functions of the new instrument and makes technical drawings
which he also publishes in the AMZ.
Mehwald writes that he found free reed technique like of the Tschiang (German name for Sheng)
in the instrument and therefore named it Neu-Tschiang (New-Tschiang).

1829 年，一种名为 Neu Tschiang 的乐器出现在 AMZ
(德国 Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung》7 月 29 日第 30 期）。
该乐器由 Reichstein zu Gnadenfeld von Schlesien 先生发明并制造。

写的。
弗里德里希-梅瓦尔德描述了新仪器的功能，并绘制了技术图纸。
他还在 AMZ 上发表了这些图纸。
