This article discusses the use of mechanical models of the human vocal tract in teaching students about how the vocal tract works in the formation of speech. The idea of having a mechanical model that simulates the human vocal tract dates back at least as far as to Wolfgang von Kempelen (see Fig. 1), whose manually operated speed synthesizer was developed between 1769 to 1791. An account can be found at the Wikipedia site http://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Wolfgang_von_Kempelen's_ Speaking _Machine Highly recommended reading is the paper in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (1950) by Dudley andTarnozy [1] that reviews von Kempelen’s development of his mechanical synthesizer and which also reviews the invention of analogous devices in later years. Von Kempelen summarized his work in a 451 page book [2]“Mechanismus der menschlichen Sprache bevst Bescreibung eincer sprechende Maschine (The mechanism of human speech, with a description of a speaking machine).
