Reed Music Instruments 簧片音乐 - 1st European Free Reed Music Instruments (phase1)

While free reed musical instruments have been known in Asia for more than three thousand years, the development of free reed musical instruments in Europe only began at the end of the 18th century.

The first European free reed instruments attempted to combine a reed stop technique developed in the 16th century (Regal, Vox Humana) with the newly discovered free reed technique.

This led to the development of new instruments such as the orchestrion, the panharmonicon and the Orgue expressif.

In the second phase, the free reed was further developed, the tuning devices were removed and the reeds became smaller, similar to the free reeds of the Chinese sheng.

The Chinese sheng became known in Europe at the end of the 18th century, at the same time as the first new developments with free reeds began in Europe.

Whether the Sheng had an influence on the first development phase of the European Free Reeds is no longer known.
There are some indications but no verifiable records.

The Sheng definitely had an influence on the second development phase of new Free Reeds in Europe, there are some records of musical instrument makers and scientists who were studying the Free Reed technique of the Sheng.

The further development of the free reed technique gave rise to many new instruments such as the physharmonica, the accordion, the concertina or the harmonium.

Among scholars there were, or are, probably two opinions:
Opinion 1: the European free reed technique developed independently
Opinion 2: the European Free Reed technique was influenced by the Chinese Sheng.

The European Free Reed technique from the second development phase is not a copy but a fusion of the Chinese Free Reed technique of the Sheng with the already existing European Reed technique.

Here you can see the first European instruments that were developed with the new European Free Reed technique.

虽然自由簧片乐器在亚洲已为人所知已有三千多年，但自由簧片乐器在欧洲的发展直到18世纪末才开始。

第一个欧洲自由簧片乐器尝试将 16 世纪开发的簧片停止技术（Regal、Vox Humana）与新发现的自由簧片技术结合起来。

这导致了新乐器的发展，如管弦乐队、泛和弦和 Orgue Expressif。

第二阶段，自由簧进一步发展，取消了调音装置，簧片变得更小，类似于中国笙的自由簧。

中国笙于 18 世纪末在欧洲广为人知，同时欧洲也开始出现第一批自由簧片的新发展。

笙是否对欧洲自由簧片的第一发展阶段产生了影响，目前已无从得知。
有一些迹象，但没有可证实的记录。

笙确实对欧洲新自由簧片的第二个发展阶段产生了影响，有一些乐器制造商和科学家研究笙自由簧片技术的记录。

自由簧片技术的进一步发展催生了许多新乐器，如风琴、手风琴、手风琴或风琴。

学者们曾经或现在可能有两种观点：
观点一：欧洲自主研发的自由簧片技术
观点2：欧洲的自由簧技术受到中国笙的影响。

第二阶段的欧洲簧片技术并不是照搬，而是中国笙簧片技术与欧洲现有簧片技术的融合。
