From Your President… by Mary Sanders “Ukulele” … this word brings up visions of Tiny Tim tiptoeing through the tulips, Arthur Godfrey crooning “wiki waki we do” or George Harrison strumming about the devil and the deep blue sea. Or perhaps the “ukulele” evokes images of Don Ho’s tiny bubbles, Eddie Vedders (Pearl Jam), The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain’s rendition of the theme music from The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly or Jake Shimabukura’s renditions of Somewhere Over the Rainbow or, in tribute to George Harrison, a weeping guitar. The ukulele, or uke, a member of the lute family, has an international history. The Portuguese machete or braguinha and its slightly larger cousin, the rajão, are considered to be the forerunners of today’s uke. During the late 19th century, the machete or braguinha arrived in Hawaii. One version of this arrival story was that when Joao Fernandes, an immigrant from Madeira, arrived in Hawaii in around 1879, he was so joyful that he started playing his braguinha, dancing his fingers up and down the strings, earning for his instrument the name “jumping flea”. The name “ukulele” derives from two Hawaiian words, uku “gift or reward” and lele “to come”. Three Madeiran cabinet makers, considered to be the first Hawaiian ukulele makers, delighted Hawaiians with their music. King Kalākaua, the last King of the Kingdom of Hawai’i and a patron of the arts, was an ardent supporter and promoter of the ukulele. Ukuleles are made from various materials, including the traditional Hawaiian koa tree, but also from mahogany, mango, cedar, redwood, spruce, carbon fiber, high-tech eco-fabric and resin, plastic, or whatever, including cigar boxes. Ukuleles typically have four strings (and sometimes five, eight, or even twelve strings). Strings are now typically made of plastic or polymer (with variations such as fluorocarbon or Nylagut) or wound strings. There are five main sizes of ukuleles. The soprano, concert, and tenor uke are most commonly tuned to G-C-E-A (my dog has fleas) with a high G, but can instead have a low G string. The baritone uke is typically tuned to D–G–B–E, like the highest four strings of a standard guitar, and the U-bass is typically tuned to E-A-D-G, like a bass guitar or the lowest four strings of a standard guitar. There is also a sopranino (tiny, tuning is D-G-B-E). Ukuleles come in all kinds of shapes. Some have electronic pickups and some don’t. Variations include, but are not limited to, the banjolele (the union of two perfect instruments), the guitalele, the harp ukulele, and the dulcilele. Ukes delight as a teaching tool for children, as an easy-to-play accompaniment for old hippies, or as a classical and lyrical instrument. GEOFF DAVIS WILL BE OUR GUEST PERFORMER IN MARCH! Growing up, Geoff was surrounded by ukulele. In an era of sing-alongs, his parents and grandmother were the life of the party. At an early age, Geoff took his place singing and playing alongside. As he progressed, he played other instruments — tenor banjo and trombone — but always returned to the ukulele. In 1999, Geoff joined the staff of the Key Learning Community, an IPS magnet program. He was tasked with teaching children to play jazz. With no budget and a handful of children, he turned to the ukulele as a means to teach syncopation, improvisation and jazz harmonies. This group - the Key Strummers - quickly gained fame as “Indiana’s Ukulele Ambassadors” and for many years played every venue imaginable. Most notable were appearances at the State House and State Fair at the request of Governor Frank O’Bannon. In 2002, Geoff wanted to expose the Key Strummers to the best ukulele players and began the MidWest UkeFest. There were few ukulele festivals at the time and UkeFest became an instant success with nationally known players including Lyle Ritz, Jim Beloff, James Hill, Joel Eckhaus and Jake Shimabukuro teaching and performing. In 2004, Geoff was awarded a Lilly Teacher Creativity Fellowship. With this he travelled to Hawaii to study ukulele construction with Michael Chock and to study playing with Byron Yasui. He had an opportunity to meet and play with many Island greats. These players became the focus of UkeFest that year. More recently Geoff has conducted workshops and performed at a variety of Mid West gatherings. He teaches ongoing classes at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. His new band - The Hoosier Haoles - are beginning to play for regional Tiki gatherings. Geoff continues to work with children. He currently teaches 6th grade at IPS Francis W. Parker Montessori, where he holds regular rehearsals and classes for children, adults and the community.

  • ICA 2010 Paper
    Proceedings of the International Symposium on Music Acoustics (Associated Meeting of the International Congress on Acoustics) 25-31 August 2010, Sydney and Katoomba, Australia Experimental Approaches on Vibratory and Acoustic Characterization of Harp-Guitars Enrico Ravina (1) (1) University of Genoa, MUSICOS Centre of Research, Genoa, Italy PACS: 43.75.- z; 43.75.Gh ABSTRACT The paper describes the results of a research activity, still under development, oriented to the vibratory and acoustic characterization of harp-guitars. Vibration analyses show interesting differences between harp-guitars and classical guitars about displacements detected on the soundboard and on the bridge and their dependence to frequencies. Acoustic analyses detect very different responses of harp-guitars to various frequencies, showing also the different acoustic emission at sound holes. Comparisons between signals detected by external and surface internal micro- phones allow estimating effects of the acoustic damping in these particular instruments. INTRODUCTION later two designs are technically harp guitars with open strings. They were smaller in size as was fashionable at the Harp-guitars represent a separate and distinct category within time. Barry and Harley of London, excellent craftsmen, built the guitar family, are those most commonly and popularly these instruments for Light. Many of these table harp lutes, as referred to today as harp guitars. This particular category of they were called, are still around today. The desire for ex- instruments includes guitars with any number of additional tended range on a guitar was evident as composers, such as unstopped strings that can accommodate individual plucking. Fernando Sor (1778-1839) and Matteo Carcassi (1792-1853) The word "harp" is a specific reference to the unstopped open wrote music on a three necked, 21 strung guitar, called a strings, and is not specifically a reference to the tone, pitch hypolyre.

  • Electric Guitars and Basses
    About Electric Guitars and Basses Since the development of the Spanish six-string guitar in the early 1800s, guitar makers and players had searched for a way to make the guitar's sound louder. (See Acoustic Guitars for more info.) Big changes came at the beginning of the 20th century when a number of guitar players and designers experimented with electrical amplification. Major changes in guitar design began with the invention of the electromagnetic transducer commonly known as a "pickup." A pickup is a device placed underneath the strings of a guitar converting string vibrations into electrical energy. This energy is converted back into sound by an amplifier. The amplifier has knobs or switches that allow the player to increase or decrease the sound level of the guitar. (See section on Amplifiers for more info.) As early as the 1930s guitar players began installing pickups in their acoustic instruments. Although this helped make the sound louder, it created a whole new set of problems - especially "feedback" when the guitar was played at high volume. Several inventors developed a solution to this problem by experimenting with a solid body for the instrument by attaching a neck with strings to a solid block of wood. This solid wood body - not as resonant as a hollow body - created less feedback when amplified. By the 1950s solid body electric guitars were mass-produced to keep up with the increasing demand for these new instruments. First seen as just a novelty, electric guitars have become one of the most popular and influential instruments in modern music - used to play blues, jazz, rock & roll, country, and rhythm & blues styles.

  • THE WORLD's FIRST PLAY-IN DEVICE the Tonerite
    1 THE WORLD'S FIRST AND PREMIER AUTOMATIC PLAY-IN DEVICE Now Available for String Instruments and Drums! Acoustic, Electric, and Bass Guitar Mandolin, Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass & Ukulele Percussion Instrument: Drum The ToneRite PRODUCT AND PROCESS WORKS IN TWO SIMPLE STEPS First, to unlock the maximum potential of your instrument… The play-in de-dampening process is a well-known phenomenon that occurs when wood instruments are played regularly for many years. Through on-going research, ToneRite has developed automatic play-in technology that can rapidly and safely take your instrument to its highest potential in less than a week. The ToneRite is nearly silent, lasts a lifetime, and will improve your instruments tone, volume and playability whenever you are not playing it yourself. Second, to keep your instrument at its best… The ToneRite is also great for keeping your instrument in top playing shape. As instruments go un-played they begin to build up a natural tension which results in the gradual loss of tonal quality. Continual use of the ToneRite allows your instrument to be ready for you whenever you have the inspiration to play. Your instrument is at its best, all the time. 2 THE SECRET BEHIND THE TONERITE IS its ability to (continually) produce and efficiently transfer vibrational energy into an instrument, safely recreating and magnifying the physics that occur naturally while playing. This stimulation produces a change to the integrated components within an instrument and increases their ability to resonate together as a whole. The result is added volume and instruments that are easier to play with a sound that is more full and balanced.
