Is it built for a person that has 'the head under the arm'?!

(I do not know if anyone understand that expression, but it has very much use in Sweden, especially nowadays...)

Looks like an attempt to save an instrument with a wrecked leadpipe. Doesn’t look very useful for any practical application.

Stimmzüge = tuning slides, if you know the context.
Stimm- means related to voice or tuning.
Züge means something to be pulled like slides or trains of wagons.
Which all goes to prove that the Chinese don't yet have a monopoly on funny computer generated translations.

It has something to do with the singing quality of the sound that someone can pull out of the instrument. As Klaus remarked, some of the Chinese instruments also has that qualities.
