The Martin UkuleleThe Little Instrument That Helped Create a Guitar GiantSoftcoverAuthors: Tom Walsh, John KingThe Martin Ukulele is a detailed look at the ukuleles built by the C. F. Martin Co. of Nazareth, PA, and at how the instruments' success forever changed the company that made them. Martin's ukulele-making led the small, respected builder of fine guitars and mandolins into an era of unprecedented growth in the 1920s and helped it become one of the most legendary manufacturers of high-quality guitars in the world.Drawing heavily from the extensive archives at the Martin factory, the book examines the company and its development, from production records, sales ledgers, and a vast collection of correspondence to hundreds of photos, including many of the rarest ukuleles the company produced. Extensive additional imagery chronicles the history of the popularity of the ukulele itself.The book is both a narrative about Martin's ukulele manufacturing history and a reference work detailing the numbers of each style of ukulele ever made by the company. It is an exploration from Martin's first attempt at production in 1907, to the peaks of ukulele popularity in the 1920s and '50s, to the disinterest that caused Martin to cease ukulele production in the 1990s, to the recent resurgence that has allowed the firm to again offer a wide assortment of new models.  214 SeitenSprache Englisch

Hal Leonard Hl00001596C.F. Martin and his guitars 252 SeitenSprache EnglischPaperback Autor Philip Gura The Martin is considered the finest acoustic guitar in the world, a distinction it has held for more that 160 years. Martin guitars have been played by performers Eric Clapton, Stephen Stills, Judy Collins, and Johnny Cash, as well as hundreds of thousands of other professional and amateur musicians.In C.F. Martin and His Guitars, 1796-1873, Philip Gura chronicles the career of Christian Frederick Martin from his humble start as an importer and repairman of musical instruments in New York City in the 1830s through his move to Nazareth, Pennsylvania, and the founding of C.F. Martin & Company.Gura is the first historian to thoroughly study the Martin company records dating back to the 1830s: Letters, account books, inventories, and other documents. Using this rich archive, Gura establishes how a German immigrant from Saxony's guild tradition became the finest American guitar maker of his time and created a uniquely American business that successfully eclipsed its competition.As Gura shows, Martin's success was based on his successful navigation of the rapid economic expansion and industrialization of his time. The many sketches and hundreds of photographs illustrate how Martin adapted his artisanal craft to modern industrial methods, maintaining quality while meeting increased demand for instruments. Gura traces the network of suppliers who provided Martin with his raw materials and explores the advertising and other methods Martin employed to build a market for his goods.After Martin's death in 1873, the company continued to grow. It thrives today under the leadership of a sixth-generation Martin, producing instruments that are still the most sought after and collectable in the world. Includes an 80-page color section!

Auf 178 Seiten findet man umfassende Grifftabellen zu allen Ukulele-Typen (Sopran-, Konzert, Tenor-, Baritonukulele), Hinweise zur Einstimmung, Tipps, Historie u.v.m. Eine wahre Fundgrube und ein unentbehrlicher Begleiter für jeden Ukulele-Enthusiast. Axel Richter, Jahrgang 1952 entdeckt sein Herz für die Folkmusik erst recht spät. Im Alter von 19 Jahren versucht er zum ersten Mal, einer Gitarre Töne zu entlocken. Er sorgt bald mit einem Freund für die musikalische Ausgestaltung von Jugendgottesdiensten und veranstaltet Gospelabende in Gemeindehäusern. Dann folgen erste Folkkonzerte und Auftritte auf Straßenfesten, Festivals und in Folkclubs mit den Gruppen Cottonpicker, Dreybard, Ranunkel und der Double Eagle Folkband. Sein Solo-Repertoire besteht aus irischen, schottischen und amerikanischen Liedern über die Welt und das Leben, gewürzt mit gepfefferten Sprüchen, einem Schuß 'Bluegrass' und einer Prise Deutschfolk - ein Strauß aus alten und neuen Liedern und Melodien, bekanntes und selten gehörtes. Mit seinen irischen und schottischen Liedern war er u.a. für die Brauerei Guinness in Norddeutschland unterwegs. Axel Richter ist ein Folkmusiker der leisen Töne , was ihn jedoch nicht davon abhält, auch fetzige Stücke zu spielen, die die Zuhörer in Bewegung bringen und zum Mitsingen anregen. Seine Witze sind gefürchtet und werden auf der nach unten offenen Richter-Skala gewertet. Er weiß sein Publikum immer wieder zu begeistern, und wenn er die Zuhörer zum Mitsingen (und Trinken) animiert, bleibt keine Kehle ungeölt!

Hal Leonard HL01104293 Huttons Guide to Martin Guitars 1833-1969 436 SeitenSprache EnglischAutor It is now more than 40 years since Mike Longworth published his seminal book on the Martin Guitar Company. It was Mike's book that stirred Greig Hutton's original interest in Martin guitars and it put him on the path to seeking more information and insights. Martin Guitars: A History became the first of a long list of books that have continuously expanded the information available for the Martin instruments. This book will not just recapitulate previous research; rather, it will build on earlier work while filling in gaps using source documents, as well as collating new information into tables and diagrams for ease of use. Although broadly based on a number of previous publications, none of this information was incorporated into the book without direct comparison to the source archival documents. This hefty tome includes 400 photos and forewords by Dick Boak, George Gruhn, and Joe Spann. There is certainly no one else on the planet that knows as much about the history of Martin guitars as Greig does, and I personally thank him for sharing his knowledge with those of us who are anxiously waiting to receive it! –Dick Boak
