Abstract
Present-day sampling music keyboards are electronic instruments that fall under the last (5th) category of the Hornbostel Sachs musical instrument classification scheme. Conversely, we first propose an entirely acoustic/mechanical mellotron-like sampling keyboard instrument that neither uses nor involves electricity in any way. Instrument voice/voicing is changed by replacing mechanical storage media similar to Edison phonograph cylinders, gramophone disks, or vinyl records that were commonly used from 1870 to 1980. We next propose a fluid version of our instrument in which hydraulic (water) action is used to fluidly index into the mechanically stored samples, again, without the use of electrical components. Finally, we present a computerized version of our instrument in which digital signal processing is used to obtain fluidly continuous control of musical sampling from a hydraulic keyboard in which each key is a water jet. The final result gives rise to new musically expressive capabilities for continuously flowing manipulation of music samples. Moreover, we propose versions of the computerized instrument that derive the initial sound source from the water itself, such that the instrument is not an electrophone.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
