But only equaled by his passion to perform them on-stage. Whether playing before a sold out symphony hall – or one he was determined and never lost heart – perfecting the music was far too important to him. Then, in 1921, after years nearly empty – Ludwig performed every note as if it were his final heartbeat. of disappointments, he struck perfection. The Balanced Action™ model he developed back then remains to this day the standard in timpani design and sound quality held around the world. You need only to hear the difference in a Ludwig In 1909, Ludwig, being the purist he was, grew rather frustrated when the hand-tuned timpani of the day made it Timpani to judge for yourself. Ludwig’s Timpani embody the heart and soul of everyone who plays or dedicates their lives difficult to play Wagnerian parts to his liking.

    19th INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON ACOUSTICS MADRID, 2-7 SEPTEMBER 2007 Acoustic measurements along the history of saxophone: from Adolphe Sax to vintage instruments. PACS: 43.75. Vincent Gibiat1 Hamid Louaked2 Jerôme Selmer2 1University Paul Sabatier PHASE 118 route de Narbonne 31062 TOULOUSE Cedex 9 France ; [email protected] 2Henri Selmer Paris 18 rue de la fontaine au roi 75011 PARIS France; [email protected] ABSTRACT A complete collection of alto saxophones belonging to the successors of Adolphe Sax factory (Henri Selmer Paris) beginning with Adolphe Sax instruments (1856) followed by all the different models produced all along the twentieth century has been acoustically studied. Model 22, 26, 28, Radio improved, Balanced Action as well as the mythic Mark VI or unique instruments based on a factory model and realised for a special event have been studied to follow the evolution of what is both an historic instrument and a popular one. As these instruments are all in playable conditions impedance measurements on all the possible fingerings have been obtained. Sound recordings have also been realised on chromatic scales and short musical excerpts. We present the synthetic results obtained that show the continuity between Adolphe Sax production and the earlier Selmer Instruments, then the quality and homogeneity gap between some different models. Through the evolution the musician demands on sound quality appear clearly. These historic instruments have also been compared to the most recent models showing an evolution and a preservation of the historic sound that is certainly not finished. INTRODUCTION Both ancient and popular the saxophone has a peculiar place in music history.

(NYSE: LVB) AV8147 oin the Family J Looking back at over a century of Ludwig Percussion, the word “Family” continues to find its way into how we define what we are as a company. It’s certainly no secret that we bolster a rich history, originated by William F. and Theobald Ludwig in 1909. These pioneers laid a solid foundation of drummers and percussionists creating instruments for the needs of generations of players. That tradition continued with William F. Ludwig II (or “The Chief” as he has come to be known). The Chief’s dedication to the Ludwig Legacy went way beyond his name. It was his dedication to everyone from the craftsmen at the Ludwig factory, to the drummers who played his creations that established the feeling of a true Family. From Damen Avenue in Chicago to our current facility in Monroe, NC., The Ludwig Family continues on in its founders’ tradition as a notable American manufacturer.

LESSON REVIEW: In the second lesson, we gave you an in depth look at the brass family. The brass instruments are made from a mix of metals and all make sound as the player vibrates his/her lips into a mouthpiece. THE WOODWIND FAMILY: Now, let’s learn about the woodwind family. There are many members of the woodwind family, and we want you to know their differences. You have three goals: STUDENT OUTCOMES: Know how the woodwind instruments make their sounds.

  • Clarinet Survival Guide
    ELECTRIC TEACHING STRATEGIES CLARINETGUITAR Mouthpiece/Barrel Have beginning students warm up daily with only the mouthpiece and barrel to focus on fundamentals. The students will produce a concert F# if embouchure, air support, and tongue position are all correct. SURVIVAL Straws To help students understand the components of a good embouchure, have them drink water through a straw while looking in a mirror. While drinking GUIDE water, most students will have a flattened chin, the correct amount of lower lip rolled over the bottom teeth, and firm corners. Encourage students to practice their embouchure with a mirror daily. Swab in Bell To help students develop a good air column, insert a bundled up swab into the bell of the clarinet and have them play a low chalumeau E1. Tell the student to try to push the swab out of the clarinet with the air. Suddenly pull the swab out of the bell and the student should be producing a big, full sound. Paper Trick Students often don’t take enough mouthpiece. Place a piece of paper between the mouthpiece and the reed and mark the contact point on the reed lightly with a pencil. This will illustrate how much mouthpiece to take. Cutting a mouthpiece patch in half and placing it further down on the mouthpiece can also be a great tactile reminder for students of where to put their teeth and of how much mouthpiece to take. Hand Position If a student rests their left thumb on the body of the instrument while playing throat tones, rather than hovering it over the tone hole, place a mounting square on the instrument under the thumb hole.
