  • Ludwig-Musser 2010 Concert Percussion Catalog AV8084 2010
    Welcome to the world of Ludwig/Musser Concert Percussion. The instruments in this catalog represent the finest quality and sound in percussion instruments today from a company that has been making instruments and accessories in the USA for decades. Ludwig is “The Most famous Name in Drums” since 1909 and Musser is “First in Class” for mallet percussion since 1948. Ludwig & Musser aren’t just brand names, they are men’s names. William F. Ludwig Sr. & William F. Ludwig II were gifted percussionists and astute businessmen who were innovators in the world of percussion. Clair Omar Musser was also a visionary mallet percussionist, composer, designer, engineer and leader who founded the Musser Company to be the American leader in mallet instruments. Both companies originated in the Chicago area. They joined forces in the 1960’s and originated the concept of “Total Percussion.” With our experience as a manufacturer, we have a dedicated staff of craftsmen and marketing professionals that are sensitive to the needs of the percussionist. Several on our staff are active percussionists today and have that same passion for excellence in design, quality and performance as did our founders. We are proud to be an American company competing in a global economy. Musser Marimbas, Xylophones, Chimes, Bells, & Vibraphones are available in a wide range of sizes and models to completely satisfy the needs of beginners, schools, universities and professionals. With a choice of hammered copper, smooth copper or fiberglass bowls, Ludwig Timpani always deliver the full rich sound that generations of timpanists have come to expect from Ludwig.

  • Method 'Splicing'
    THE CENTRAL COUNCIL OF CHURCH BELL RINGERS Methods Committee Method ‘Splicing’ PRACTICAL HINTS by John P. Fidler A Central Council publication CENTRAL COUNCIL OF CHURCH BELL RINGERS ––––––––––––––––– Methods Committee Method ‘Splicing’ PRACTICAL HINTS by John P. Fidler WITH INTRODUCTION ‘The Theory and Practice of Splicing’ by Joseph W. Parker ––––––––––––––––– SECOND EDITION ––––––––––––––––– 1995 ISBN No. 0-900271-35-3 EDITORIAL NOTES This book was first published in 1925 and comprised a series of articles entitled Hints on splicing and ringing Minor Methods by John P. Fidler, which were reprinted from The Ringing World, together with an introduction by Joseph W. Parker. In preparing the text for this edition some changes to the original text have been considered desirable. The earlier work relied on the availability of the Central Council Collection of Legitimate Methods, 1907 and referred by number to methods which appeared in that publication. These references have been replaced by the actual names of the methods and all the method names have been brought up- to-date. Furthermore, whole leads of the thirty-five methods rung at Norbury have been included. In this edition we have followed the modern conventions that the first blow of the treble’s full lead is called the lead end, the last blow of the treble’s full lead is called the lead head and that the name of the method is shown next to the lead head. In the first edition inconsistent and possibly confusing notations were used. Third’s place Delight and Fourth’s place Delight are no longer considered to be separate classes and so this distinction has been removed.

    Multimedia Figure X. Building a Relationship with Percussion Instruments Bill Matney, Kalani Das, & Michael Marcionetti Materials used with permission by Sarsen Publishing and Kalani Das, 2017 Building a relationship with percussion instruments Going somewhere new can be exciting; it might also be a little intimidating or cause some anxiety. If I go to a party where I don’t know anybody except the person who invited me, how do I get to know anyone else? My host will probably be gracious enough to introduce me to others at the party. I will get to know their name, where they are from, and what they commonly do for work and play. In turn, they will get to know the same about me. We may decide to continue our relationship by learning more about each other and doing things together. As music therapy students, we develop relationships with music instruments. We begin by learning instrument names, and by getting to know a little about the instrument. We continue our relationship by learning technique and by playing music with them! Through our experiences and growth, we will be able to help clients develop their own relationships with instruments and music, and therefore be able to 1 strengthen the therapeutic process.
