Who wants a trautonium must build one
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The man most associated with the development of the Trautonium, Oskar Sala, stated “Wer ein Trautonium will, muss sich eins bauen” – “Who wants a Trautonium, must build one”. With only a limited number of the instruments ever made, today if you wish to learn the instrument or perform the works composed for it, first you must build your own. This paper looks at the beginning of the journey to research and build a modern Trautonium, and the implications for the preservation of non-commercial electronic musical instruments to allow them to remain in active use.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
