Last weekend Ginny and I travelled over to my brother’s house for a “Tuneful Friday” celebration. http://www.bryanbowers.com/What a collection of terrific musicians came over that night! I spent a fair amount of time that night holding my guitar very quietly – no way I was going to keep up with some of th ose guys. As usual in a gathering of musicians, everyone was very supportive – the best players and the hacks like me all got a nice round of applause after every tune. All of a sudden it was past midnight and folks May 24th remembered that they weren’t going to be able to 7:00 PM sleep in Saturday, and we had to pack it in. I don’t know how the evening passed so quickly.

Even as you read this, a print shop is preparing 5,000 WANTED posters offering sizeable cash rewards for the capture of James Parkinson, alive. I’ve got something for him, so dead he will do me no good If you try to catch him, do not let his old age beguile you. He will be difficult to catch. If you aren’t careful, he’ll palm some of his disease onto you while he slips the noose and escapes. He’s been pulling that trick for 200 years. If you talk to the doctors about how Parkinson leaves his ailment with you, you’ll get a lot of medical double-talk about the way Parkinson’s disease develops and that James Parkinson personally has nothing to do with it. When the doctors start that sort of talk, I stump them with, “It carries his name, don’t it!” Every doctor has to admit that’s the truth and unable to refute my logic, they stop trying to tell me that James Parkinson had nothing to do with my having his ailment. The ailment, like Parkinson himself, is sly, slippery, and sneaky. It slowly grips you, claiming a little more of you each day, but doing it so slowly you hardly know what’s going on. After a few years of this, I’m beginning to feel like the rabbit having an illicit affair with a skunk, I’ve enjoyed about all I can stand. James Parkinson is a slick rascal, so if you catch him, hold him tight while I give his disease back! Joe 3 (PRESIDENT’S NOTES continued from page 1) If you haven’t hosted a party like this at your house, I strongly recommend that you give it a try. I think John puts together some light refreshments for his guests, but a big party spread is not required. Everyone who came was there for the music – not the food and drink. When we were cleaning up Vickie noted that they have to find a place to put the left-over beer – people always bring more than they drink. Who wants to go to the kitchen to fetch a beer when you might miss a good song that way? I think the only challenging part of having a pick-in at home is finding enough chairs for everyone to sit. I finally fixed that at our house – I picked up a couple folding chairs every time we visited Costco for about a year. I’m starting to make plans for our annual July Burritt Gazebo festival. If you’d like to play that show, please send me a little information: your name/band name, names of folks who will be playing with you, any time constraints (if you need to pay early or late), and stage needs (mostly number of vocal/instrument microphones you will need, chairs, etc). That information will help me plan the program, and help George Williams plan out the sound reinforcement details. The Gazebo concert is always a lot of fun for both audience and performers. Brian Curtis (our illustrious newsletter editor) and I are both searching for more content for the newsletter. I’d really like to see some columns, letters to the editor, or even just want ads, from our members. If you have had a good (or bad) experience with a music store or piano tuner, or instrument repairman, please consider writing about your experience and sharing it with the newsletter readership. That’s a terrific way to make HTMA membership more valuable to our members. Okay, we won’t ever be Angie’s List, but we can help each other out. I’d sure like to see a thoughtful article from one of our members who has experimented describing player impressions of different guitar strings. That’s an area that’s so hard for me to evaluate sonically – I can tell you which strings last longer, and how I can tell they are worn out, but I really don’t know which strings might sound best on any of my guitars. I was thinking more about music string theory last week. We were looking at a Steinway that came on the market, and the seller told me that his piano had been restrung with “stainless steel” wire. That gave me a chuckle. As an engineer, I knew that no stainless steel alloy has more than about 80% of the strength of typical modern music wire. So I figured the seller just wasn’t that informed. Well, that lasted until I had a conversation with the technician who rebuilt the piano. Yep – he put Pure Sound ™ stainless piano wire on the treble strings. Turns out the piano technicians are always fighting with in-harmonicity, which they abbreviate as IH. I kept seeing IH mentioned in online conversations, and I had to find out what the dickens they were talking about. So it turns out that the strings on string instruments, even banjos, will vibrate at multiple frequencies – a primary tone and any number of harmonics, or overtones. On a guitar, the harmonics are typically almost pure. That is, if the primary frequency for an A is 440 Hz, the harmonics will be almost exactly integer multiples of the primary frequency – 880 Hz, 1320 Hz, and so on. The harmonics make the strings move in patterns like you see with fancy jump rope spinners – with nodes, places where the string hardly moves at all, separating sections of the string that are vibrating at harmonic frequencies.

    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.

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.

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.
