This means that the lower pitched strings are smaller in actual diameter than non-densified strings. This process, an invention exclusive to Aquila, produces a more unified tone over the entire range of the instrument and quicker response from the lower pitched strings. Red series strings have a punchy, articulate sound. NOTE: there is no warranty for breakage on Red Series strings. Correct setup of the nut is crucial for successful installation of the Red Series strings We recommend placing a very small round shaft screwdriver on the fingerboard against the nut during installation so the string will slide over it and not drag in the nut channel. Most breakage occurs while installing the string, and at the nut.

Morris Center, 10 E Broad St, Savannah, GA 31401 View map Admission Buy tickets More information Savannah Music Festival Credits Presented by the Savannah Music Festival Germán López is a world-renowned ‘timple’ player from the Canary Islands, and is joined by Spanish guitarist Antonio Toledo at the 2017 Savannah Music Festival. Two acoustic duos from remarkably different traditions share this one- time-only double bill. Germán López is a world-renowned timple player from Spain, and is joined by Spanish guitarist Antonio Toledo. López has been performing since the age of 10, including collaborations with the symphony orchestra of Gran Canaria and festival appearances throughout Europe and the U.S. Pronounced “tim-play,” the timple is a diminutive 5-stringed instrument that resembles the 4-stringed ukulele, which López brings to life through a joyous sound that is similar to flamenco music but with a very Portuguese flair. Joel Savoy and Kelli Jones are from Eunice, Louisiana and specialize in Cajun music, honky-tonk and swing on guitar and fiddle. Savoy is the son of renowned Cajun musicians Mark & Ann Savoy, is owner/producer at the Grammy-winning label Valcour Records, and is also the Artistic Director of the Festival of American Fiddle Tunes.

  • Rippling Notes” to the Federal Way Performing Arts & Event Center Sunday, September 17 at 3:00 Pm
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA CONTACT August 23, 2017 Scott Abts Marketing Coordinator [email protected] DOWNLOAD IMAGES & VIDEO HERE 253-835-7022 MASTSER TIMPLE MUSICIAN GERMÁN LÓPEZ BRINGS “RIPPLING NOTES” TO THE FEDERAL WAY PERFORMING ARTS & EVENT CENTER SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 17 AT 3:00 PM The Performing Arts & Event Center of Federal Way welcomes Germán (Pronounced: Herman) López, Sunday, September 17 at 3:00 PM. On stage with guitarist Antonio Toledo, Germán harnesses the grit of Spanish flamenco, the structure of West African rhythms, the flourishing spirit of jazz, and an innovative 21st century approach to performing “island music.” His principal instrument is one of the grandfathers of the ‘ukelele’, and part of the same instrumental family that includes the cavaquinho, the cuatro and the charango. Germán López’s music has been praised for “entrancing” performances of “delicately rippling notes” (Huffington Post), notes that flow from musical traditions uniting Spain, Africa, and the New World. The “timple” is a diminutive 5 stringed instrument intrinsic to music of the Canary Islands. Of all the hypotheses that exist about the origin of the “timple”, the most widely accepted is that it descends from the European baroque guitar, smaller than the classical guitar, and with five strings. Tickets for Germán López are on sale now at www.fwpaec.org or by calling 2535-835-7010. The Performing Arts and Event Center is located at 31510 Pete von Reichbauer Way South, Federal Way, WA 98003. We’ll see you at the show! About the PAEC The Performing Arts & Event Center opened August of 2017 as the South King County premier center for entertainment in the region.

  • FAKING a BAROQUE GUITAR Jay Reynolds Freeman Summary: ======I Converted a Baritone Ukulele Into an Ersatz Baroque Guitar
    FAKING A BAROQUE GUITAR Jay Reynolds Freeman Summary: ======= I converted a baritone ukulele into an ersatz Baroque guitar. It was a simple modification, and the result is a charming little guitar. Background: ========== I don't know how an electric guitar player like me got interested in Baroque music, but after noodling with "Canarios" on a Stratocaster for a few months, I began wondering what it sounded like on the guitars Gaspar Sanz played. Recordings of Baroque guitar music abound, but the musicians commonly use contemporary classical guitars, which are almost as far removed from the Baroque guitar as is my Strat. Several luthiers build replica Baroque guitars, but they are very expensive, and I couldn't find one locally. I am only a very amateur luthier. With lots of work and dogged stubbornness, I might be able to scratch-build a playable Baroque guitar replica, but I wasn't sure that my level of interest warranted an elaborate project, so I dithered. Then I met someone on the web who had actually heard a Baroque guitar; he said it sounded more like a modern ukulele than a modern classical guitar, though with a softer, richer sound. That started me thinking about a more modest project -- converting a modern instrument into a Baroque guitar. I had gotten a Baroque guitar plan from the Guild of American Luthiers. Its light construction, small body, and simple bracing were indeed ukulele-like. A small classical guitar might have made a better starting point, but it is hard to add tuners to a slotted headstock, and I find classical necks awkwardly broad, so a large ukulele was more promising.
