ʻO CF Martin & Company kahi hōʻailona kīkā ʻAmelika e hana nei i nā mea kani kani honua mai ka makahiki 1833.

E hāʻawi ana kēia ʻatikala i kahi ʻike o ka mōʻaukala koʻikoʻi o CF Martin & Company a me kona wahi i nā mele hou i kēia lā, a me ke kūkākūkā ʻana i kekahi mau hiʻohiʻona kaulana i hana ʻia e kēia hōʻailona hōʻailona i nā makahiki i kōkua i ke ʻano o nā ʻano mele ma ka mōʻaukala.
Moolelo o CF Martin & Company
ʻO CF Martin & Company kahi hōʻailona kīkā ʻAmelika i hoʻopuni ʻia mai ka waena o 1800s. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka hui e Christian Frederick Martin, Sr., a ua lilo koke ia i kaulana no kāna mau kiʻi kila kila. I loko o nā makahiki, ua kuleana ʻo CF Martin & Company i kekahi mau mea hou i hoʻokumu ʻia i ka ʻoihana guitar a me ke kani o nā mele kīkā hou. E nānā hou kākou i ka mōʻaukala o kēia hōʻailona kīkā.
Hoʻokumu ʻia ʻo CF Martin & Company
Ua hoʻomaka ʻo CF Martin & Company i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kenekulia 19, i ka wā i hoʻololi ai kahi luthier ʻike mai Saxony i ka hana kīkā me kāna mau hoʻolālā a me nā ʻenehana hana. Ua hoʻoholo ʻo Christian Frederick Martin, ka mea i neʻe i New York City i nā makahiki mua o 1830 a ma hope ua neʻe i Nazareth, Pennsylvania, e hana i nā mea kani maikaʻi aʻe no ka poʻe e ʻimi nei i ka hana akamai, ka mana acoustic a me ka nani—mai nā limahana studio a i nā mea pena kiʻi huakaʻi mai nā wahi a puni o ka honua. .
I ka makahiki 1833, ua hoʻokumu ʻo CF Martin & Company i kona mau aʻa me kahi hale kūʻai ʻo New York City i hāʻawi i ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana i ke kīkā a me ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā mea kani ʻē aʻe i mau kīkā, e hānai nui ana i nā malihini Kelemania kūloko e makemake ana i nā mea kani maikaʻi ma ko lākou ʻāina home. I ka hoʻolaha ʻana o ka ʻōlelo no ka maikaʻi o ka hana a me ka maikaʻi o CF Martin & Company me ia, ua hoʻomau ka hui i ka hoʻonui ʻana i kona hiki i ka ʻāina a ma waho aku - nā kauoha hoʻouna ma ʻAmelika ʻĀkau, ʻEulopa a me Asia - a me ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i kona wahi ma ke ʻano he hoʻokahi. ʻO nā mea hana mea kani kaula nui loa ma ka mōʻaukala.
Hoʻonui i ka Brand
Mai kona hoʻokumu ʻia ʻana ma 1833 e Christian Frederick Martin, Sr., ua hoʻomau ka CF Martin & Company i ka hana hou a hoʻonui, me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻenehana kuʻuna a me nā ʻenehana hou i ka hana ʻana i kekahi o nā kīkā maikaʻi loa i loaʻa i kēia lā. I loko o kēia ulu ʻana, ua kūpaʻa ʻo ia i kāna kūpaʻa i ka maikaʻi, ka hana hana, a me ka hoʻolaʻa ʻole ʻana i ka ʻoluʻolu o ka mea kūʻai aku.
Mai kona hoʻomaka ʻana i kahi hale kūʻai liʻiliʻi ma Kelemānia kokoke i ʻelua mau kenekulia i hala aku nei, ua ulu mau ka ʻoihana i nā makahiki i hala iho nei i lilo i hoʻokahi o nā mea hana kīkā kaulana a mahalo ʻia ma ka honua. ʻO kāna kumu hoʻohālike - ka Martin D-18 Dreadnought - ua hoʻokomo mua ʻia i ka makahiki 1931 a ke ʻimi nui ʻia nei i kēia lā e nā mea pāʻani mai ka poʻe hoʻomaka a i nā mea hoʻokani pila.
Ma waho aʻe o kāna laina guitar acoustic kaulana, hoʻopuka pū ʻo CF Martin & Company i nā ʻano kīkā uila like ʻole me nā kino hollow, semi-hollows a me nā hiʻohiʻona kino paʻa e hoʻokomo kokoke i nā ʻano kīkā uila e pāʻani nei i kēia lā - mai ka jazz a i ka ʻāina pōhaku a i ʻole metala. Hoʻopuka ka hui i nā bass a me nā ukulele i paʻa me ka mahalo like ʻia e nā mea pāʻani ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa!
I kēia lā ʻo CF Martins 'catalog nā mea a pau mai nā hiʻohiʻona ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka "X" a hiki i nā mea hana haku mele e like me ka D-28 Authentic MARTIN Custom Shop Guitar – kahi e hiki ai i nā mea kūʻai ke mana paʻakikī i kēlā me kēia kikoʻī no kā lākou mea hana moemoeā! Ke hoʻomau nei ka ʻoihana i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka hana mele ma waena o nā poʻe loea ʻelua a me ka piʻi ʻana o nā talena hou me kā lākou papahana hoʻolimalima no nā internships & apprenticeships no nā luthiers e makemake e hoʻonui i kā lākou mau hana i loko o kahi ʻano kūʻokoʻa.
Nā Kiʻi Hoʻohālike
Ua hana ka brand guitar brand CF Martin & Company i kekahi o na mea kani kaulana loa i hanaia. Mai kā lākou pūʻulu Dreadnought a hiki i ka hoʻolālā D-45 kaulana, ua loaʻa iā Martin Guitars kahi wahi i loko o ka puʻuwai o nā mea pāʻani he nui ma nā ʻano mele he nui. Ma kēia ʻāpana, e nānā mākou i kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona kiʻi i makemake nui ʻia kēia brand.
Ka Dreadnought
ʻO ka Dreadnought na CF Martin & Company ʻo ia kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona kiʻi ʻoniʻoni o nā kīkā acoustic i kūʻai ʻia i kēia lā. ʻO Revolutionary i ka manawa i hana ʻia ai, ʻo ia ka mea nui o ka honua o ke kīkā me kona ʻano ʻokoʻa a me kona ʻano kani.
Hoʻokumu ʻia i ka makahiki 1916, ʻo ka Dreadnought ke ʻano kino kino o Martin & Company, i kapa ʻia ma muli o kahi laina o nā moku kaua Pelekane i ʻike ʻia no ko lākou mana a me ka nui. Me kona kino nui, ʻāʻī ākea a me ka hoʻolālā 14-fret, ua hōʻailona ka Dreadnought i kahi holomua nui no nā kī kī acoustic, no ka mea i ʻae ʻia ka mana a me ka leo e hana ʻia ma mua o ka wā ma mua. Ua hoʻololi koke ʻo ia i nā hiʻohiʻona i loaʻa mai nā mea hana ʻē aʻe i kaulana ma muli o kāna kiʻi leo kiʻekiʻe.
I kēia lā, nui nā mea hana i hana i kā lākou mau mana ponoʻī o ka hiʻohiʻona Dreadnought kaao, e hōʻike ana i ka mana o kēia guitar i ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ka hana mele hou. ʻO kahi hōʻike o kāna hana hana maikaʻi, kekahi CF Martin & Company dreadnoughts i hana ʻia a hiki i ka makahiki 1960 e mahalo ʻia i waena o nā mea hōʻiliʻili i kēia lā ma ke ʻano he mau ʻāpana o ka mōʻaukala kahiko e hiki ke hana i ka maikaʻi kani maikaʻi ma mua o 70 mau makahiki ma hope!
ʻO ka D-18
Ua hoʻolālā ʻia ka D-18 i ka wā i kapa ʻia ʻo "Golden Age" o nā kīkā mai CF Martin & Company i nā makahiki 1930 a me 40. ʻO ia kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona hiʻohiʻona o ka hui, i ʻōlelo pinepine ʻia he "Martin". Ua hana ʻia ka D-18 mai ka makahiki 1934 a ʻike koke ʻia no kāna mahogany i hope a me nā ʻaoʻao, spruce top, a me ke ʻano ʻokoʻa.
Ua hana ʻia ka D-18 i nā mana he nui i nā makahiki me nā ʻano like ʻole o ka hoʻolālā ʻana, e like me nā manamana lima rosewood a i ʻole nā hiʻohiʻona bracing ʻokoʻa ma loko o ke kino kīkā. I kēia lā, ʻekolu mau mana nui o kēia ʻano hiʻohiʻona: The Authentic Series (e hahai kokoke ana i nā hoʻolālā kumu), The Standard Series (e hōʻike ana i nā hōʻano hou) a me The Classic Series (e hui pū ana i ka hoʻolālā maʻamau me nā kikoʻī hou).
ʻO nā mea pena kiʻi kaulana i hoʻohana i kahi D-18 ʻo Woody Guthrie, Les Paul, Neil Young, Tom Petty a me Emmylou Harris. Hoʻohui kēlā me kēia hanauna o nā mea mele i kā lākou hōʻailona ponoʻī i kēia mea kani kaʻao - hōʻike i kāna pūlima kani maopopo ʻole a me kāna hana paʻa.
ʻO ka D-45
ʻO ka D-45 kahi kīkā acoustic ʻano dreadnought a ʻo kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona kaulana loa a Martin. ʻOiai ua hoʻolauna mua ʻia ka D-45 maʻamau i ka makahiki 1933, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka mana hou o kēia hiʻohiʻona i ka wā o ke Kaua Honua II a ua ʻike koke ʻia ʻo ia ʻo "King of Acoustic Guitars." He hiʻohiʻona kino maikaʻi, ʻo Adirondack spruce top me nā ʻaoʻao mahogany i puhi ʻia a me ke kua, ka manamana lima rosewood me nā inlays daimana, uhi uhi huelo ebony a me kahi hoʻolālā headstock elongated.
Ua aloha ʻia kēia kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa e nā poʻe kahiko kahiko e like me Willie Nelson lāua ʻo Eric Clapton, a me nā hōkū hou e like me Ed Sheeran a me Taylor Swift. ʻO nā leo momona i hoʻopuka ʻia e kāna hui ʻana o nā mea e kūpono ai i nā ʻano like ʻole. Loaʻa iā ia kahi leo piha e kaulike ana ma waena o nā kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe a me nā haʻahaʻa mehana me ka manaʻo maikaʻi loa, e hoʻomaʻamaʻa maikaʻi ʻia no nā mea āpau mai ke kani pumehana a i nā kau koho wela. Hoʻohui ʻia ke kani e ka hana akamai i ʻike ʻia mai ke poʻo a hiki i ke alahaka - e hōʻike ana kēlā me kēia kikoʻī i ko Martin kūpaʻa i ka maikaʻi ma kāna mau mea kani.
Ua noʻonoʻo ʻia ʻo D-45 i ka lei aliʻi i ka CF Martin & Company o nā kīkā kaula hao; ʻO kona hui pū ʻana o nā leo ʻokoʻa, nā hiʻohiʻona kūʻokoʻa a me nā mea hana kaʻao e hoʻokaʻawale iā ia mai nā kumu hoʻohālike ʻē aʻe o kāna papa. Ma waho aʻe o ka lilo ʻana i kekahi o nā mea kani maikaʻi loa i loaʻa ma ka mākeke i kēia mau lā, ʻo ia kekahi e mau i nā hanauna inā mālama pono ʻia - he hōʻike hou aʻe i ko Martin kūpaʻa e kūkulu i "nā kīkā maikaʻi loa i hiki iā lākou"
Hoʻoikaika i ke mele
Ua puni ʻo CF Martin & Company mai ka makahiki 1800 a ʻo ia ka inoa i hilinaʻi ʻia i ka hana kīkā mai ia manawa mai. He hopena mau loa kēia hōʻailona kikā i ka mōʻaukala mele, mai kāna hāʻawi ʻana i nā hana kaulana o kēia lā a i kona mana i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i kekahi mau ʻano mele a me nā ʻano mele. E nānā kākou i ka mea a kēia brand guitar kaulana i lawe mai iā kākou.
Mele Folk
Ua hohonu ka mana o CF Martin & Company ma nā mele mele. Ma o kā lākou hana paionia i ka hoʻolālā ʻana a me ka hana ʻana i nā kīkā acoustic kaila dreadnought, ua kōkua lākou i ke ʻano o ke kani a me ke ʻano o nā mele ʻAmelika mai ka makahiki 1833. Ma ka hoʻolako ʻana i nā mea kani me nā mea kani hilinaʻi loa ma ka mākeke, ua hiki iā lākou ke ʻimi i nā mea hoʻokani hou. nā pae o ka hōʻike pilikino a me ka noʻonoʻo.
No nā makahiki he nui, ʻo kā lākou mau kīkā kekahi o nā mea kani i ʻimi nui ʻia no nā mea pāʻani flatpicking a me nā manamana lima ma muli o ko lākou ikaika a me ka leo ola. Ke kaulana nei lākou i kēia mau lā no ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka studio a me ka repertoire hoʻokō ola i nā ʻano kuʻuna a me nā ʻano hou o nā mele mele mai Celtic a bluegrass a i nā mele kahiko o Appalachian. ʻO ka CF Martin Dreadnought kiʻiʻoniʻoni he mea kaulana i waena o nā mea hoʻokani pila, e hāʻawi ana i kahi leo piha piha akā e ʻoki ana i kahi hui me ka ʻole o ka lilo ʻana i mea nui.
ʻAʻole wale lākou i mea hana i ka hana ʻana i nā mea kani maʻamau i mahalo ʻia e nā hanauna o ka poʻe pāʻani - ua hana pū lākou me nā mea pena kiʻi nui e like me Bill Monroe, Clarence White, Doc Watson, Gordon Lightfoot a me nā kukui hou aʻe e lawe mai iā mākou i kekahi o kā mākou. nā mele mele punahele i nā makahiki hoʻokahi haneli+ i hala!
Mele ʻāina
He kuleana koʻikoʻi ʻo CF Martin & Company i ka ulu ʻana o nā mele ʻāina. Ma o kona holomua ʻana i ka ʻenehana guitar a me nā ʻenehana hana, ua hoʻonui nui ʻo Martin i nā ʻenehana hoʻokani i loaʻa i nā mea hoʻokani pila a no laila ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā mele ʻāina.
ʻO kekahi o nā hana koʻikoʻi o CF Martin & Company ʻo ia ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i ke kīkā acoustic string kila hou, me ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka leo a me ke kani ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi i hoʻohālikelike ʻia i nā kīkā ʻē aʻe mai ia manawa. ʻO kahi holomua koʻikoʻi i hana ʻia e nā ʻenekinia o Martin ʻo ka hoʻemi ʻana i ka mamao ma waena o nā frets no ka hoʻomalu ʻana i ka manamana lima pololei a me nā piko pololei ma ka fretboard, e ʻae ai i kahi ʻano nui o nā ʻenehana pāʻani e like me nā piko a me nā paheʻe i hoʻohana mau ʻia i nā mele blues a me bluegrass - nā ʻano mele i loaʻa. Ua loaʻa ka mana nui i nā mele ʻāina o kēia lā.
Eia kekahi, ua hiki iā CF Martin & Company i nā mea hoʻokani pila ke hele me kā lākou mau mea kani me ka maluhia me ka mahalo i kāna hoʻolālā kiʻi dreadnought hou - ke koho ʻana i nā lāʻau maikaʻi maikaʻi no ke kūkulu ʻana i hoʻohui i ka pale hou aku i ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka mahana no laila e hana ana i kahi pahu paʻa a me ka pale ʻana i hoʻolālā ʻia e pale i nā ukana makamae i ka wā. ka lawe ʻana me ka ʻole o ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻana i ka maikaʻi o ke kani a i ʻole ke kākoʻo ʻana – kekahi hiʻohiʻona koʻikoʻi i ka mele ʻāina o kēia mau lā.
ʻO ka hoʻolālā lāʻau i koho ʻia e CF Martin & Co i ʻae i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka resonance ma luna o nā ʻaoʻao o luna e hāʻawi ana i ke kākoʻo lōʻihi e hōʻike ana i nā mele ʻāina o kēia wā a me ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i nā alapine waena waena i kapa pinepine ʻia ʻo twang - nā hiʻohiʻona a pau i makemake ʻia e nā mea mele o kēia wā. ka mālama ʻana i ka lehulehu a i ʻole ka hana ʻana i nā moʻolelo e kani maoli a ʻoiaʻiʻo me ka ʻole o ka hoʻoponopono uila a i ʻole ka hoʻonui ʻana i nā kikohoʻe ma hope o ka hana ʻana; ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona a pau i hoʻolaha nui ʻia i ka hopena o ka 60's Country Pop neʻe i kēia mau lā i manaʻo ʻia e hoʻolaha i nā ʻano moʻomeheu ʻAmelika e like me Bluegrass a me Classic Country i waena o ka poʻe i ʻike ʻole iā lākou akā hauʻoli lākou i ka hoʻolohe ʻana i kā lākou mau ʻano leo kūʻokoʻa e wehewehe ana i kēia. No nā mokuʻāina mauna mai ka hana noʻeau wā ʻole .
Mele Pōhaku
Nui ka mana o CF Martin & Company ma ka honua o ke mele, akā naʻe, he hopena koʻikoʻi loa ia i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā mele mele. Mai nā polū paʻakikī a hiki i nā kiʻi pōhaku nui, nui nā hana a me nā hoʻopaʻa leo i hana ʻia me kahi kīkā Martin. ʻO ke ʻano Dreadnought kiʻi o ka hui, nā pale X a me nā poʻo slotted i hoʻopaʻa i ko lākou wahi ma ke ʻano he mau paionia i ke kūkulu ʻana i ke kīkā a me ka ʻenehana.
Ua hoʻokani kaulana ʻo Eric Clapton i kāna mea aloha "Blackie" Martin Custom X-braced Stratocaster ma kekahi o nā mele kaulana loa a Cream e like me "Layla". E lilo ana kēia hiʻohiʻona i mea makemake nui ʻia ma waena o nā mea ʻohi no ka mea he kakaikahi wale nō i hana ʻia ma muli o kona lilo a me ka loaʻa. Pēlā nō, hoʻohana kaulana ʻo Jimmy Page i kahi 1961 Slotted Headstock Acoustic Guitar i ka wā o Led Zeppelin i nā hoʻopaʻa leo mua - e hoʻokani ana i kāna mau hana ola e like me nā kīkā ʻelua i hui pū ʻia ma mua o hoʻokahi hana acoustic hoʻokahi [Source: Premier Guitar].
I kēia mau lā, hoʻohana nā mea hoʻokani pila CF Martin mai nā ʻano like ʻole mai nā hōkū Pop e like me Taylor Swift i nā mea hoʻokani Blues maʻamau me Buddy Guy. Ke neʻe hou aku nei mākou i ka makahiki kikohoʻe, ʻike maopopo ʻia e noho mau ʻo CF Martin & Company i alakaʻi alakaʻi i ka ʻoihana no nā hanauna e hiki mai ana me ka mahalo i kāna hui ʻana o ka ʻenehana hou me ka hana manawaleʻa a me ka hoʻolālā.

No ka hoʻopau ʻana, he mana nui ʻo CF Martin & Company i nā mea kani mai ka wā i hoʻokumu ʻia ai i ka makahiki 1800. ʻO ko lākou nānā ʻana i ka maikaʻi a me nā kikoʻī, a me nā pilina a lākou i hoʻokumu ai i nā hanauna i lilo ai lākou i kekahi o nā inoa kaulana loa i ka hana kīkā a hiki i kēia lā. ʻO nā kīkā i hana ʻia e Martin e lawe mai i kahi pae o ka hana hana e mau ana no nā hanauna a makemake nui ʻia no kona kani, manaʻo, a me ka pāʻani.

E hoʻomanaʻo mau ʻia ka hoʻoilina o CF Martin & Company ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea hoʻomohala koʻikoʻi o ka mōʻaukala mele a hoʻomau i ka hana ʻana i kā mākou ʻāina mele i kēia lā ma o nā kī kī kiʻekiʻe i hiki ke hele i nā palena ma waena o nā ʻano like me ka pōhaku, ka ʻāina, ka poʻe. blues a me ka jazz.
