14年前’ -- Charles Wheatstone (1802-1875)by Rob Howard |
 环球手风琴新闻于1997年10月17日报道了计划庆祝英国六角琴发明者 Charles Wheatstone (1802-1875)诞辰200周年的详细情况. Wheatstone的第一个设计于1829年6月19日在伦敦申请了专利叫做 ‘symphonium’, 通过嘴里的一根管子吹奏进行演奏. 名称 ‘concertina（六角琴）’ 是1835年采用的, 那时去掉管子，改用风箱. 我们今天知道的Wheatstone为英国六角琴申请专利是1844年. 六角琴很快成为了19世纪英国最受欢迎的自由簧片乐器, 后来于20世纪20年代后期被手风琴完全替代. Wheatstone 公司现在仍然存在, Wheatstone六角琴现在仍然保持着其他乐器媲美的质量基准. THE CHARLES WHEATSTONE BICENTENARY - UK Contributed by Neil Wayne The Wheatstone Bicentenary celebrations are planned for February 6th 2002. Closer to the event, a Bicentenary Planning Committee will be formed. Events and exhibitions were held during 1975, the centenary of Charles Wheatstone's death.
