介绍（中）	"摇摆"的melodeon或风琴之所以被称为"摇摆"，是因为它必须上下跳动（键盘因此摇摆），才能使风箱发出簧片的声音技术说明：浅矩形红木贴面表壳，cima型材侧面固定在单折叠楔形储液器顶部的芦苇板上，对置压力给料机配备片簧；送料器的底部由两条带子抬高，以便当melodeon放在桌面上时允许空气进入；C-c3键盘，带有薄象牙色天然板（实木正面）和深色斑点，安装在顶部的后部，顶部平面的前部，除了在矩形板中向左侧滑动的非功能膨胀快门旋钮；黄铜簧片（用焊料加重的低音）焊接到黄铜通道上，该黄铜通道具有直角边，通常可以放入凹槽中，但这里用螺钉将其倒置固定到簧片板上，并在暴露的一侧压印有音高字母；托盘由短钢条推下，是锥形的黄铜条，在风道上的顶端进行皮革处理，并粘在芦苇板的下面；波纹管侧面由纸板制成，上面覆盖着压花油布；左侧的附件可能是缺失踏板的带子。
介绍（英）	The "rocking" melodeon or organ received this moniker because it had to be pumped up and down (the keyboard therefore rocking) in order to pump the bellows to sound the reeds. Technical description: shallow rectangular rosewood-veneered case with cima profile sides pegged onto reed board atop single-fold wedge-shaped reservoir and opposed pressure feeder equipped with leaf springs; bottom of feeder raised by two strips to allow ingress of air when melodeon is placed on table top; C-c3 keyboard with thin ivory natural plates (plain wood fronts) and dark-stained accidentals is mounted at rear of top, front of top plain except for non-functional swell shutter knob sliding in rectangular plate toward left-hand side; brass reeds (basses weighted with solder) soldered to brass channels that have right-angled sides that would normally fit into grooves, but here secured upside-down to reed board with screws and having stamped pitch letters on exposed side; pallets--pushed down by short steel rods--are tapered brass strips, leathered at tip over windway and glued and nailed to underside of reed board; bellows sides made of cardboard covered by embossed oilcloth; attachment on left side probably for strap to missing pedal.
