• G10H 3/02 using mechanical interrupters
• G10H 3/03 using pick-up means for reading recorded waves, e.g. on rotating discs
• G10H 3/12 using mechanical resonant generators, e.g. strings or percussion instruments, the tones of which are picked up by electromechanical transducers, the electrical signals being further manipulated or amplified and subsequently converted to sound by a loudspeaker or equivalent device
