    THE EVOLUTION OF THE BROADWOOD GRAND PIANO 1785-1998 by Alastair Laurence DPhil. University of York Department of Music September 1998 Broadwood Grand Piano of 1801 (Finchcocks Collection, Goudhurst, Kent) Abstract: The Evolution of the Broadwood Grand Piano, 1785-1998 This dissertation describes the way in which one company's product - the grand piano - evolved over a period of two hundred and thirteen years. The account begins by tracing the origins of the English grand, then proceeds with a description of the earliest surviving models by Broadwood, dating from the late eighteenth century. Next follows an examination of John Broadwood and Sons' piano production methods in London during the early nineteenth century, and the transition from small-scale workshop to large factory is noted. The dissertation then proceeds to record in detail the many small changes to grand design which took place as the nineteenth century progressed, ranging from the extension of the keyboard compass, to the introduction of novel technical features such as the famous Broadwood barless steel frame. The dissertation concludes by charting the survival of the Broadwood grand piano since 1914, and records the numerous difficulties which have faced the long-established company during the present century. The unique feature of this dissertation is the way in which much of the information it contains has been collected as a result of the writer's own practical involvement in piano making, tuning and restoring over a period of thirty years; he has had the opportunity to examine many different kinds of Broadwood grand from a variety of historical periods.

    Aplikasi Permainan Capsah Banting dengan Penerapan Algoritma Minimax Hapnes Toba, Billy Kurniawan Program Studi D3 Teknik Informatika Fakultas Teknologi Informasi, Universitas Kristen Maranatha . Prof. Drg. Suria Sumantri No. 65 Bandung 40164 Email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Big-two card game, is one of well-known card climbing games which probably originated in coastal China around 1980. Soon it became very popular in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taiwan and also in the Philippines and Singapore; it has also spread to some western countries. In climbing games, each player in turn must play a higher card (or combination of cards) than the previous player. A player who cannot or does not wish to beat the previous play can pass. This continues for as many rounds as necessary until someone makes a play which no one will beat. That player wins the "trick" and leads to another one. Because players can pass, their cards are not used at an equal rate and some will run out before others. This kind of strategy produces an imperfect information environment. In this article will be reported how the Big Two card game is implemented in computer with the application of Minimax Algorithm, to predict the information, i.e. the value of cards in hand, for the next player who has the turn to minimize the card “value” of the other players.

    Restoration report South German or Austrian Tafelklavier c. 1830-40 Andrew Nolan, Broadbeach, Queensland. copyright 2011 Description This instrument is a 6 1/2 octave (CC-g4) square piano of moderate size standing on 4 reeded conical legs with casters, veneered in bookmatched figured walnut in Biedermeier furniture style with a single line of inlaid stringing at the bottom of the sides and a border around the top of the lid. This was originally stained red to resemble mahogany and the original finish appearance is visible under the front lid flap. The interior is veneered in bookmatched figured maple with a line of dark stringing. It has a wrought iron string plate on the right which is lacquered black on a gold base with droplet like pattern similar to in concept to the string plates of Broadwood c 1828-30. The pinblock and yoke are at the front of the instrument over the keyboard as in a grand style piano and the bass strings run from the front left corner to the right rear corner. The stringing is bichord except for the extreme bass CC- C where there are single overwound strings, and the top 1 1/2 octaves of the treble where there is trichord stringing. The top section of the nut for the trichords is made of an iron bar with brass hitch pins inserted at the top, this was screwed and glued to the leading edge of the pinblock. There is a music rack of walnut which fits into holes in the yoke. The back of this rack is hinged in the middle and at the bottom.

  • Piano Manufacturing an Art and a Craft
    Nikolaus W. Schimmel Piano Manufacturing An Art and a Craft Gesa Lücker (Concert pianist and professor of piano, University for Music and Drama, Hannover) Nikolaus W. Schimmel Piano Manufacturing An Art and a Craft Since time immemorial, music has accompanied mankind. The earliest instrumentological finds date back 50,000 years. The first known musical instrument with fibers under ten sion serving as strings and a resonator is the stick zither. From this small beginning, a vast array of plucked and struck stringed instruments evolved, eventually resulting in the first stringed keyboard instruments. With the invention of the hammer harpsichord (gravi cembalo col piano e forte, “harpsichord with piano and forte”, i.e. with the capability of dynamic modulation) in Italy by Bartolomeo Cristofori toward the beginning of the eighteenth century, the pianoforte was born, which over the following centuries evolved into the most versitile and widely disseminated musical instrument of all time. This was possible only in the context of the high level of devel- opment of artistry and craftsmanship worldwide, particu- larly in the German-speaking part of Europe. Since 1885, the Schimmel family has belonged to a circle of German manufacturers preserving the traditional art and craft of piano building, advancing it to ever greater perfection. Today Schimmel ranks first among the resident German piano manufacturers still owned and operated by Contents the original founding family, now in its fourth generation. Schimmel pianos enjoy an excellent reputation worldwide. 09 The Fascination of the Piano This booklet, now in its completely revised and 15 The Evolution of the Piano up dated eighth edition, was first published in 1985 on The Origin of Music and Stringed Instruments the occa sion of the centennial of Wilhelm Schimmel, 18 Early Stringed Instruments – Plucked Wood Pianofortefa brik GmbH.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. Voices of the Electric Guitar Don Curnow MPA 475 12-12-12 Intro The solid body electric guitar is the result of many guitars and innovations that came before it, followed by the guitar's need for volume to compete with louder instruments, particularly when soloing. In the 1930s, jazz and its various forms incorporated the guitar, but at the time there was no way for an acoustic guitar to compete with the volume of a trumpet or saxophone, let alone with an orchestra of trumpets and saxophones, such as in big band jazz. As a result, amplification of the guitar was born and the electric guitar has been evolving since, from a hollow bodied ES-150 arch-top with a pick-up used by Charlie Christian to the Les Paul played by Slash today.

  • Dai Di Analysis
    3 << 2: Dai-di Analysis Teo Kai Meng, Roddy Kok Yik Siong, Jeremy Ang Kay Yong and Ivan Lim Wen Chiang Abstract Chor Dai Di is a popular local card game played usually with four players. Unlike other popular card games like Bridge or Poker, Big Two, as it is also known as, has little formal study made on it. An attempt is therefore made here to employ a systematic approach, not unlike that for the other card games, to formalise the workings of the game, as well as provide an insight to more advance play. With the compilation of a set of useful probabilistic data of the game, heuristics for playing can then be verified and new ones created. Introduction Amongst local card players, Chor Dai Di has to rank as one of the most popular, as the game is easy to get started on, though deceptively difficult to master. For some, the appeal of the game lies in its reliance on skill and judgment, though one can of course throw the decisions of game play to chance. As such, we believe that since it is possible to master the game, it must be possible to devise some guidelines for better play. To better appreciate the game, we had hoped to find out its origins. Unfortunately, the exact history of the game is unavailable, as we have yet to come across any book or documentation of the game. We did find a website on the game, but it had only an outline on the rules. Perhaps, it is then fair for us to make an inference on this apparent lack of information.

  • Chimera-Rulescompressed.Pdf
    OBJECT OF THE GAME Chimera is a 3-player card game of two against one. It is similar to climbing and shedding based card games like Tichu, The Great Dalmuti, Big Two and Beat the Landlord. Each hand one player is designated Chimera and the other two players team up as the Chimera Hunters to defeat the Chimera. Players compete for points in several hands of play and the winner is the player who scores the most points once the designated Score Limit is reached by one or more players. Chimera is normally played to 400 points although longer or shorter games may be played. COMPONENTS The game is played with a 54-card deck: • 4 cards each of ranks 1 through 12 (although suits are included, they have no effect on game play) 8 of these cards are Treasure cards and provide points 2 2 to the player who takes them in a trick. • 4 Rank 2 “Fortune Toads” worth +10 points each. 11 11 2 • 4 Rank 11 “Prosperity Cats” worth +5 points each. 2 11 • 4 Heroes, which rank higher than the cards ranked 1 11 through 12, but have no numerical value and so cannot H H be used in playing straigths, or ranked sequences (except as added cards). H • 1 Pi Ya card (P), which outranks all other single cards P H P except the Chimera and can optionally be used to substitute for any ranked card 1-12 to assist in making a P straight. For example, 8-9-10-Pi Ya-12. P • 1 Chimera card, which outranks all single cards.
