noun

小风琴，里格尔琴

A small, portable organ whose sound is produced by beating reeds without amplifying resonators. Its tone is keen and rich in harmonics. The regal was common in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; today it has been revived for the performance of music from those times.

Examples :

"The museum displayed several regals, showcasing the delicate craftsmanship and unique sound of these historical reed organs. "

博物馆展出了几架里格尔琴，展示了这些古老的簧风琴精巧的工艺和独特的声音。

noun

里格管风琴音栓

An organ stop of the reed family, furnished with a normal beating reed, but whose resonator is a fraction of its natural length. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries these stops took a multitude of forms. Today only one survives that is of universal currency, the so-called Vox Humana.

Examples :

"The small church organ, though aged, still boasted its distinctive regals, producing a reedy, almost human-like tone alongside the other stops. "
