Eko Guitar of Italy

Story of Eko Guitar

      During one in every of accordion maker Oliviero Pigini's visits to America within the late Nineteen Fifties, the rising craze for rock 'n' roll convinced him that the times of the accordion's popularity were numbered.

Clearly, the new "cool" instrument for the young generation was the guitar.

Oliviero Pigini

     Pigini came back to Italy and in 1959 founded Eko and started building guitars in his giant factory within the central Italian town of Recanati.

   For many reasons Eko succeeded terribly quickly in Europe. First, Eko was the continent's initial mass-producer of  guitars. Second, its "made in Italy" image and innovative designs--which ranged from "stylish Italian" to "mod" and quirky--tapped into the first '60s fun-seeking zeitgeist. Meanwhile, America's leading brands--Fender, Gibson, and Martin--had not gained a robust foothold in Europe.

     According to current Eko President Stelvio Lorenzetti, in those years European customs rules were additional restrictive, and importation and also the distribution channel for music merchandise had nevertheless to totally develop. As a result, Eko dominated European and Middle jap markets and for nearly twenty years remained Europe's biggest guitar producer.

Eko guitars were notably widespread in nice Britain.

     The brand's introduction coincided with Beatlemania, and it had been distributed within the U.K.'s prime retailer and distributor, Rose Morris.

Rose Morris conjointly owned the Vox amplifier company, that was closely related to the Fab Four.

     "Rose Morris was a awfully necessary distributor for Eko in those times," says Lorenzetti. "The 'marriage' between Eko and Rose Morris became terribly productive, and our guitars became best sellers in England.

     Overall the Ranger XII and VI acoustics and a few electrical models were the foremost widespread, however our entire catalog was o.k. known by British musicians from then up till the Eighties."

1965

     Between 1965 and 1975 Eko's collaboration with Rose Morris extended to manufacturing guitars and basses for Vox. Years later Eko, Vox, and Thomas Organ entered into a joint venture in Recanati referred to as EME (Elettronica Musicale Europea) to provide a replacement vary of Thomas-branded electronic organs and keyboards.

     In 1962 Eko appointed LoDuca Bros. its distributor within the U.S. Despite a lot of stronger competition from the category's established giants, Eko guitars gained a decent following and sales.

     As happened in Europe, yank musicians were interested in Eko guitars' ultra-slim necks, low action, and particularly their electrical models' innovative body styles.

Among Eko's most identifiable electrics was the Rokes.

     Created in 1965 for the Italian pop band of identical name, it had been sold commercially from 1966 and have become known within the U.S. because the Rocket or Rok. Different distinctive models included the Kadett, the 700, and also the Camaro. Eko's top-selling acoustics were the Ranger VI (six-string) and Ranger XII (12-string).

By 1970 Eko was established on 5 continents, and, at its zenith, created quite 350,000 guitars annually.

     The mark that Eko's heyday created on the worldwide guitar community still resonates--or "echoes"--today. Lorenzetti comments, "Every trip I've remodeled the years I've heard somebody say, 'Eko? That was my initial guitar!'"

     Some of these revelations are additional gratifying than others. He points out that as an adolescent Bob Taylor wished (but could not afford) an Eko Ranger XII that ultimately galvanized him to create his initial guitar in his highschool woodshop category. "During the '60s and '70s Eko represented one in every of the foremost necessary guitar factories within the world beside Fender, Gibson, and Martin," says Lorenzetti. "We are terribly pleased with that."

     Despite Eko's early success, competition from Asian-made brands with dramatically lower labor prices compelled Eko to maneuver its production from Italy to, in turn, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. However the corporate was too way behind the guitar market's steep deflationary curve, and within the late '80s the Italian factory was closed.

     However, for quite twenty years collectors, vintage guitar aficionados, and musicians nostalgic for the instruments they played in their youth kept the Eko mystique alive.

Hamer Guitar

Story of Hamer Guitar

Dantzig

     The first Hamer Guitar (a Flying V bass) was engineered at Northern Prairie Music, a vintage instrument search owned by Hamer and Dantzig in Wilmette, Illinois. This search catered to musicians who were fascinated by high-quality instruments. This initial instrument served because the basis for a brand new company referred to as Hamer Guitars.

     Hamer began publicizing their instruments with tiny black and white ads in guitar magazines in 1974, and was incorporated in 1976. By 1977 the corporate used up to seven employees. Most of the physical exercise to the present purpose had been one-off custom variations on the initial "Standard" and "Flying V" guitars. 

     Throughout this era Hamer's customers were restricted to big-name touring teams like dangerous Company, Wishbone Ash Jethro Tull and 

Savoy Brown. So as to attractiveness to a broader market, the primary "production" Hamer referred to as the "Sunburst" debuted in 1977. Production was reportedly set at around ten guitars per week. Throughout now the corporate undoubtedly gained a lot of popularity with the high profile patronage of low cost Trick guitarist Rick Nielsen and also the use of Hamer eight and twelve string basses in their music. In 1978 Frank Untermyer joined the corporate, gap up the international for Hamer Guitars.

     1980 brought a move to larger quarters in Arlington Heights (a suburb of Chicago.) The employees had grown to twelve and Hamer Guitars continued to launch new models like the Special, Cruisebass, Prototype, Blitz and Phantom. Paul Hamer who had primarily served as sales manager, left the corporate in 1987 to pursue his career in retail sales. Kaman Music was then approached to handle sales whereas the remaining homeowners focused on producing. Kaman Music agreed to get Hamer in late 1988.

     After 5 years with Kaman, Dantzig departed from the corporate in 1993, moving to California to start a style and consulting business.

     As the mid-priced guitar market became saturated Hamer sought to enhance sales and regain its former complete 

identity. In 1997 Kaman Music relocated the corporate to alittle search in New Hartford, Connecticut. the highest 10 builders were relocated to New Hartford along side Dantzig, who was re-hired as Technical Director. Hamer then began concentrating on a core of high-quality styles targeted at the burgeoning upper-end and collector market.

Under its parent company Kaman Music, Hamer was acquired by guitar big Fender Musical Instruments on December thirty first, 2007.

Hermann Hauser Guitar of Germany

Story of Hermann Hauser Guitar.

Hermann Hauser

     Hermann Hauser Sr. (1882-1952) is best remembered for the exceptional instruments he in-built the Spanish vogue once 1924. In that year, each Andrés Segovia and Miguel Llobet visited Hauser. Segovia was impressed by the standard of Hauser's work and wrote his impressions, noting that he "immediately saw the potential of this nice artisan if solely his mastery may be turned to the development of the guitar within the Spanish pattern, as immutably fastened by Torres and Ramirez because the violin had been fastened by Stradivarius and Guarnerius" (Segovia in Guitar Review 1954). Segovia inspired Hauser to make instruments based mostly on his 1912 Manuel Ramirez guitar (built by Santos Hernandez) once he examined and created measurements of this instrument. At this point Hauser additionally had the chance to look at Miguel Llobet’s famous 1859 Torres which might additionally become a decisive influence on the maturing “Hauser” vogue.

     Whereas the story of Hauser's conversion to the Spanish tradition because it is sometimes told places the stress on what he learned from these nice Spanish luthiers, very little attention has been paid to what Hauser himself contributed by method of the German tradition he inherited by birth. Hauser was himself the son of a luthier, Josef Hauser (1854-1939), and attended the State faculty for Violin creating in Mittenwald as a youth. To become a luthier, one had to pass a state exam that coated all aspects of the luthier's art, and Hauser's examination master was Johann Otto Haslvanter, a famous guitar and zither maker in Munich.

      Whereas Hermann started his career by building zithers by 1905 he was additionally creating guitars shortly afterwards, largely based mostly on the Viennese models – notably of Stauffer. Following his graduation, he visited work within the Amberer's look, a family of luthiers who had been building for many generations. However, by the time of Segovia's and Llobet's visit Hauser had established his own look, and had developed a superb name for his precise work building guitars, lutes, lyre-guitars, and historical reproductions.

      Whereas justifiably Hauser's name rests on some 250 instruments that he engineered between 1925 and 1952, he had by 1924 maybe already created 250 guitars within the German tradition. Today, the Hauser I instruments most coveted by performers and collectors are 

those that clearly resist on the Torres style however are imbued with the precision (in each craftsmanship and quality of tone) of Hauser’s “Teutonic engineering principles” to yet again quote the famous and extremely apt words of Julian Bream.

     The Hauser tradition has remained alive continuously to the current day, the torch being passed down through the descending generations, next of whom was Hermann Hauser II (1911-1988), another of the twentieth centuries most significant and gifted builders. His son, Hermann Hauser III (b.1958) is presently the living heir of the family tradition however is currently ushering within the fifth generation: His daughter, Kathrin Hauser, completed her opus one this past year.

Manuel Contreras Guitar of Spain.

Story of  Manuel Contreras Guitar

Manuel Contreras

     Manuel Contreras, born in Madrid in 1928, entered the guitar making profession from the exalted position of being a much sought after cabinet maker.

     It was Jose Ramirez the third who in 1959, and knowing of Contreras's reputation, invited him to join his guitar workshop. Within three years he had developed his craft sufficiently to set up as an independent guitar maker in Madrid.

Then, in 1962 Contreras set up on his own at number 80 Calle Mayor.

     Although Contreras should not be considered as being a luthier opposed to tradition, as his primary model, the 1st Special guitar, is firmly based on the development of the traditionally accepted ideas of construction, his inquisitive character led him to work, from the early 70s, on a number of unusual instruments. A cursory investigation of his work reveals a maker who was much more open than many of his contemporaries to new ideas and developments beyond the traditional style of the classical guitar. An enthusiast for the unconventional.

     His first achievement, in this sense, was the design of the model "Double Top", which Contreras presented in 1974, after a number of experiments in order to improve the tone and the volume of the instrument and its capacity to get the sound out of the guitar body. The great reception this model rapidly got in the professional guitar world (the first Double Tops, were closely observed during their process of construction and afterwards used by the four mythical guitarists members of the Romero family) encouraged Contreras to continue with this innovative way of working, far away from the mainstream of classical guitar design.

     To this period also belongs the "Guitar-Harp", a very elaborated model in its construction, with a design of a great beauty and a very powerful sound. As well as the model "Alto-Guitar", a smaller instrument with a higher tuning than the conventional guitar. This instrument has been mainly sought after and appreciated, since then till our days, by the members of the prestigious Niibori Guitar Orchestra of Japan.

     Contreras constructed the "Carlevaro" model in 1983. Based on an idea of the Uruguayan master Abel Carlevaro, it incorporates a number of very original new elements, as the missing waist on the bass side and the lack of a sound hole on the harmonic top.

     In the mid 1980s, Contreras thought up the "Sounding Back Support", a design that he developed, already working side by side with his son Manuel Contreras JR, during some years, up to the moment when they definitively incorporated this item to their top line guitars. Thoroughly designed to improve the sound response of the guitar, especially in large halls, chamber ensembles and performances with orchestra, this item got an immediate success in the professional guitar world.

Manuel Contreras died in 1994.

It is now his son who continues the work he began.

     Born in 1957, Manuel Contreras the second, was trained by his father since he was very young and took over definitively the direction of the workshop in 1986.n Since then, he has continued the same line of work, not only because of the construction of the characteristic models of Contreras workshop, but also showing his innovative spirit inherited from his father, which has led him to widely develop different aspects of those models construction, as well as to introduce in 1998 the guitar with inner "Sounding Back Support".

     Contreras' work has deserved a number of awards and homages over the years in Spain and many other countries. And these have included those ones conceded by the Madrid Chamber of Commerce (Export award, Traditional Establishment and Traditional Artisan from Madrid), that from the Spanish Guitar School as Honorary Member, Friend of Madrid conceded by the Tourist Board, Main Master of the Artisan Guild of Madrid, and medals from Salon de Provence and from the city of Digne en France, among others. Although, doubtless, the main homage received is the large number of performers that everyday are sounding the Contreras Guitar on the stages all around the world.

UKULELE Guitar.

STORY OF THE UKULELE

     The first ‘ukulele was probably made in the 1880s by Portuguese cabinet makers from the Madeira Islands who emigrated to the Kingdom of Hawai‘i in 1879. Recruited to work in the Hawaiian sugar cane fields, Madeirans and other natives of the insular possessions of Portugal and Spain began arriving in large numbers in 1878, and thereafter for a period of about thirty years. Immigrants from the second boatload of Portuguese made quite an impression on Honoluluans, according to one local newspaper: two weeks after the docking of the Ravenscrag in late August, 1879, the Hawaiian Gazette reported that “Madeira Islanders recently arrived here, have been delighting the people with nightly street concerts.” The writer also commented on the “very sweet music” played “on strange instruments which are a kind of cross between a guitar and banjo.” The “strange instrument” was the little four-string Madeiran guitar, known since the 18th century as the machete, but destined to become world-famous as the Hawaiian ‘ukulele.

      Upon fulfilling their contractual obligations to the sugar industry, many Madeiran immigrants relocated from the plantations of Kaua‘i, Mäui, and Hawai‘i, to Honolulu, where they could pursue their former trades in a more cosmopolitan setting. Among these were the marceneiros and fellow Ravenscrag passengers Jose do Espirito Santo, Manuel Nunes, and Augusto Dias. Though primarily cabinet makers, Espirito Santo, Nunes, and Dias followed an ages-old European tradition prevalent in their profession: that of turning their woodworking skills to the craft of stringed-instrument making, or luthiery. So it is not unusual to find that Augusto Dias was listed as a “guitar and furniture maker” in the 1884- 85 Honolulu City Directory. In August, 1885, Dias and Nunes took out separate advertisements in the Portuguese language weekly, O Luso Hawaiiano. Dias advertised himself as a “Manufactor de violas e machets, e todo o instrumento de corda” (maker of guitars, machetes, and all stringed instruments) while Nunes advertised his business as a “marcinaria de instrumentos de corda, violas e machets” (cabinet-maker’s shop of stringed-instruments, guitars, and machetes). The following year, the same paper reported a story which took place “na loja do [in the shop of] Sr. José do Espirito Santo.” Within seven years of arriving in Hawai‘i, all three men had apparently resumed their trades as craftsmen, making furniture and stringed-instruments.

       By 1886 the machete had taken on another name in Honolulu: taro patch fiddle. While the name has been applied to several different instruments since then, at that time it was used to describe any of the small guitars imported or made by the Portuguese. One local writer clearly held the instrument in contempt, calling it “hideous”; conversely, the famous author Robert Louis Stevenson looked forward to including the instrument in a small, musical ensemble made up of family and friends accompanying him on a voyage to Samoa in 1889. It is Stevenson’s step-daughter, Isobel Strong, who gives us the only known first-hand account of King  playing the ‘ukulele, albeit years after his death: “He would occasionally pick up a ukulele or a guitar and sing his favorite Hawaiian song, Sweet Lei-lei-hua.” Much has been made of , the early (and royal) champion of the ‘ukulele, including anecdotal stories of the instrument being used to accompany hulas at his Jubilee celebration in 1886, but to date the contemporary record has yielded scant corroboration.

     Take the case of Edward Purvis, who became the king’s assistant chamberlain in the early 1880s. Purvis, whose nickname was said to be “ukulele” due to his small size and agility, was reputed to be an accomplished performer on the instrument and subsequently it’s namesake. Because carefree Hawaiians associated him with the little guitar, it took on his name. Or so the story goes. But, according to the daily journals of  prime minister, Walter Murray Gibson, Purvis was an intriguer aligned with the king’s political enemies. In 1886, Gibson suspected Purvis was passing unflattering information about  to the king’s opponents, and that he had been the author of two notorious pamphlets (distributed anonymously) that portrayed  as a drunken, womanizing, aboriginal dunce, and the son of a Negro menial with no claim to the throne. When the king was satisfied that his prime minister’s suspicions were true, Purvis was forced to resign. He ended up in Colorado Springs, and died, presumably of tuberculosis, in 1888.

     Another difficulty in taking the Purvis anecdote at face value is that the earliest known published reference to the little Portuguese guitar as an “ukulele” occurred in 1895, in the Hawaiian Gazette. The earliest known use of the u-k-e spelling dates to 1891, in a travel book about Hawai‘i. The author, Helen Mather, observed the “ukelele” being used with the five-string taro patch fiddle to accompany a hula aboard the Australia en route from San Francisco to Honolulu.   The u-k-e spelling gives some credence to Gurre Ploner Noble’s assertion that the instrument derived it’s name from the strumming technique of the player: uke means “to strike” and lele “to jump.” Both spellings show up interchangeably in the Gazette between 1895-1904, however, the frequency of it’s mention is surprisingly small: less than half a dozen times over the same ten-year-period.

      Espirito Santo was the first to advertise “ukuleles” in the City Directory, in 1898, the same year that Dias advertised “instruments made of Hawaiian wood”. Despite increasing awareness of the little instrument, the two surviving (Santo died in 1905) Portuguese makers remained without serious competition until the end of the first decade of the twentieth century, when native Hawaiians Ernest Kaai, Jonah Kumalae, and James Anahu entered the field. About 1910, Manuel Nunes along with his sons Leonardo and Julius, started a production company, M. Nunes & Sons. Nunes’ claim to having been the inventor of the ‘ukulele dates from this period, and while it may have been good marketing, it was bad history. That Nunes invented the instrument is routinely reported to this day, a claim for which there is no credible evidence.

     While the ‘ukulele gained acceptance and popularity in Hawai‘i, it also began showing up on the mainland, first documented at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, were it was used by a quartet of Hawaiian singers, along with Spanish guitars and the five-string taro patch fiddle, to serenade visitors to the Kïlauea Cyclorama exhibit. Over the following decades, Hawaiians continued to promote their unique hybrid music, of which the ‘ukulele was an integral part, at world’s fairs in San Francisco, Omaha, Buffalo, Portland, and Seattle, and through vaudevilles and chautauquas across the country. By 1910, the instrument was very popular on the West Coast, and being sold by the Ditson Co. in New York City. When Oliver Morosco opened the play “The Bird of Paradise” in Los Angeles in 1911, it featured a running accompaniment of Hawaiian music supplied by a quintet of native musicians on-stage. Though not the first stage play to do so (“The Echo” had featured steel guitarist Joseph Kekuku the previous year) the non-stop nature of the music, along with it’s novel character captivated audiences and whetted America’s appetite for more. And more came in February of 1915, with the opening of the Panama Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. Historically credited with popularizing the ‘ukulele and Hawaiian music on the mainland, the PPIE simply confirmed what many in America already knew: they couldn’t get enough of it.

      A featured performer at ‘Ukulele Expo 2001 & 2002, and Uke Fest West, John King began playing the ‘ukulele while living in Hawai‘i in 1960. He has recorded two CDs for Nalu Music, Royal Hawaiian Music and J. S. Bach: Partita No. 3, both of which have been featured on NPR's All Songs Considered. Mr. King is a contributor to the Hawaiian Journal of History and his book/CD collection of the music of early 20th century ‘ukulele pioneers was published by Mel Bay in May 2004. Currently, he is completing a project for Flea Market Music’s Ukulele Masters series, and co-authoring a scholarly history of the ‘ukulele for a major university press.
