ʻO Chicago Musical Instruments (CMI) kekahi o nā ʻoihana koʻikoʻi a me nā ʻoihana hou i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā mea kani uila. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka paʻa ma 1927 ma Chicago, Ilinoi a hoʻololi i nā mele me ka hoʻolauna ʻana i kāna mau mea kani i hoʻonui ʻia e like me ke kīkā, e hoʻomaka ana me ka Fender Electric guitar. Ma ka huli ʻana i ka poʻe kūʻai mea kani ʻōpio, ke kūʻai aku ʻana i nā mea kani ma o nā hale kūʻai ʻoihana ma mua o nā hale kūʻai mele, hāʻawi ʻana i nā hiʻohiʻona kālā no nā mea pāʻani amateur, a me ka hoʻolaha ʻana i kahi hoʻolaha hoʻolaha aupuni e ʻimi ana i ka poʻe ʻōpio ma ka lekiō a me nā mea paʻi paʻi, ua hānai ʻo CMI i kahi ʻano mea kani hou - nā ʻōpio makemake ʻo ia e hoʻohana i nā mea uila e hana i kā lākou mau mele 'pōhaku a ʻōwili'. Ua hoʻololi ʻo CMI i ka helehelena o nā mele ʻAmelika a mau loa aku ma o ka hoʻolauna ʻana i kahi hanauna hou loa i ka hauʻoli o ka hoʻokani ʻana i nā kīkā uila a me nā mea uila ʻē aʻe.
Ua hana ʻo CMI i kekahi mau kōkua koʻikoʻi no ka hoʻolaha ʻana i nā mea kani uila a puni 1950, me nā ʻenehana hana laina hana; nā hoʻolālā amplifier e hoʻonui i ka leo me ka ʻole o ka distortion radical; nā kumu hoʻohālike haumāna kumu kūʻai haʻahaʻa (no ka laʻana, kāna mau kikā Student Series); nā hoʻolālā hoʻolaha e hiki ai i nā mea kūʻai aku; nā kumu kūʻai haʻahaʻa i hōʻoia ʻia e nā ʻano hana hoʻokele waiwai; 'ʻoluʻolu' hoʻolālā kino i manaʻo ʻia e huki i nā ʻōpio; ʻO ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka ʻenehana pickup single-coil i kēia manawa (ua hoʻohana kaulana ʻo Eric Clapton i kahi Stratocaster ma kāna album Layla seminal); nā holomua i ka hoʻolālā amplifier e hōʻemi ana i ka distortion ʻoiai e hāʻawi ana i nā pae leo nui aʻe; nā hoʻolaha pili lehulehu ma o nā ʻatikala makasini a me nā hōʻoia huahana e nā mea pena kaulana. Ua hoʻololi nā mea hou a CMI i nā mele mele kahiko ma ʻAmelika i loko o ka rock 'n' roll hou e like me kā mākou i ʻike ai i kēia lā.
Moolelo no na mea kani o Chicago
Ua hana ʻo Chicago Musical Instruments (CMI) i nā mea kani mai ka makahiki 1900. ʻO kā lākou ʻoihana ka hana ʻana i nā mea kani maikaʻi i hiki ke loaʻa i nā mea mele o nā pae āpau. ʻO ka hui ke kuleana no kekahi mau mea kani, e like me ka mīkini pahu uila mua a me ka synthesizer guitar mua. E ʻimi kākou i ka mōʻaukala o kēia ʻoihana a me kāna mau haʻawina i hana ai i ke ao mele.
Hoʻokumuʻia ma 1883
Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ʻo Chicago Musical Instruments (CMI) i ka makahiki 1883 e Lyon a me Healy, kahi hui o nā mea kūʻai mele mai Chicago i makemake e hoʻonui i kā lākou laina huahana o nā mele pepa a me nā lako mele. Ua loaʻa koke ka manaʻo o ka hui no kāna hana ʻana i nā piano kiʻekiʻe a me nā okana a me kāna mau hoʻolālā piano hoʻokani pila.
I loko o nā makahiki, e hoʻomau ka CMI i ka hana hou a hoʻonohonoho i nā kūlana hou i ka ʻoihana mele. I ka makahiki 1925, ua hoʻomohala lākou i ka mea ʻohi uila mua i hiki ke hoʻopili ʻia i nā mea kani (e like me mandolins a me nā kīkā) e hiki ai ke hoʻonui ʻia. Ua ʻae kēia ʻenehana i ka poʻe hoʻokani e pāʻani i nā wahi e like me nā kahua kahi i lawa ʻole ai nā mea kani kani mua. Ua hoʻomohala ka hui i ka bass string orchestral piha piha mua i loaʻa i ke kino nui a me ka lōʻihi o ke kaula no nā leo hohonu.
I ka makahiki 1929 ua loaʻa ʻo CMI iā Mele Brothers Music Company ma Los Angeles nāna i hoʻonui i kona hiki ma mua o nā mea kani leo wale i ke kūʻai ʻana i nā okana uila, hāʻawi iā lākou i nā ʻano kikohoʻe like ʻole ma nā mākeke okana a me nā mea hoʻokani pila. I loko o kēia manawa hoʻokahi, ua hoʻohui pū ʻia nā mea kani e like me nā kila lap, banjos & mandolins i kā lākou laina huahana me nā amplifiers, reverb units & recorders i ka makahiki 1940 a hiki i ka makahiki 1960.
Ma luna o 100 makahiki ma hope o ka mea i kēia manawa ʻO Gibson Brands Ke hoʻomau nei ʻo ia i nā ʻano he nui o ka hoʻoilina o CMI ma o ka loaʻa ʻana o kekahi mau hui e like me Epiphone Guitars (i loaʻa iā Gibson ma 1957), Mandolin Brothers (loaʻa iā Gibson ma 2001), Baldwin Piano & Organ Company (loaʻa iā Gibson i 2001) pū kekahi. e like me nā huahana mele ʻē aʻe e pili ana i kekahi mau mea hana e like me nā huahana Maestro mai National/Valco Industries a i ʻole Dobro Resonator Guitars mai Astro Amp Manufacturing Company e mālama mau nei i nā kumu hoʻolālā i hoʻokumu ʻia e nā mana kumu i hana ʻia ma lalo o nā inoa e like me Lyon & Healy a i ʻole Harmonium i ka wā i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma waena o CMI & Ditson Music Stores i nā makahiki 1900 a hiki i ka makahiki 1924.
Ka wā mua
ʻO Chicago Musical Instruments (CMI) he mea kani a me ka ʻoihana uila i ʻike nui ʻia no ka hana ʻana i nā kīkā, amps a me nā kī kī. Ua lilo ko lākou kani i mea nui o ka mōʻaukala a me ka ulu ʻana o nā mele kaulana o kēia wā.
Hoʻokumu ʻia ma 1883 e Theodore Wulschner me kekahi mau limahana Kelemania ma Chicago, Illinois, ua kaulana koke kā lākou hale hana no kāna hana maikaʻi. ʻO ka hana mua ma lalo o ka lepili "CMI" i loaʻa nā piano a me nā banjos, nā pahu mele a me nā ʻano mea kani ʻē aʻe. I ka makahiki 1893, ua ulu nā limahana o CMI i 18 mau limahana me ʻekolu mau hale hana ma New York City, Nashville a me Chicago.
Ma ka makahiki 1921 ua lilo ʻo CMI i kekahi o nā mea hana nui loa me nā limahana 1,000 e hana ana i ʻoi aku ma mua o 27 mau hiʻohiʻona like ʻole me ka shako-key player piano a me Venetian harpsichord. Ua ho'ōla hou ia i kekahi mau ʻano mea kani string kahiko o ʻEulopa e like me nā lute bow-back, psalterys bowed, viols/violas de gamba a me galoubet bund frets a lākou i hoʻomaka ai e hana i kēia manawa me ka hoʻonui ʻana i kā lākou hiki ke hoʻokomo i nā amplifier i kēia mau makahiki.
Ma nā makahiki 1930, ua kūʻai nui ʻo CMI i kā lākou mau ʻohe a me nā mea hoʻonui hou i nā hale pule i ka wā e hana ana i nā laina hou o nā pale uila i hoʻohana ʻia i loko o nā paipu ma nā hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni i hoʻomaka i kahi au hou no nā mea hoʻokani pila e hoʻomaka ana e hilinaʻi i nā mea kani uila. Me nā hoʻolaha hoʻolaha e pili ana i nā hana Vaudeville e hōʻike ana i ka pu kani jazz ʻo Louis Armstrong e pāʻani ana i nā kila Gibson lap i hana ʻia e CMI i kēia mau makahiki he ʻumi, he manawa hoihoi ia no ka poʻe mele mele ʻAmelika e ʻimi nei i nā leo hou mai nā hōkū inoa nui e like me Bing Crosby a ʻo Frank Sinatra e hoʻohana. ʻO nā piano a CMI a i ʻole nā kī uila uila ma ke kahua i kā lākou ʻoihana ma hope pū kekahi.
Hoʻonui i ka 20th Century
Ua ʻike ka 20th century i Chicago Musical Instruments e hoʻonui ana i kāna mau makana ʻoihana a me ka hana hou ʻana i ka honua o ka hana mele. Ua hoʻomaka kēia manawa o ka ulu ʻana me ke kūʻai ʻana i kahi mea hana Kelemania, i lilo ʻo Chicago's Piano Company, a me ka hoʻonui ʻana i kā lākou mau laina hana ponoʻī, nāna i hana i nā ʻāpana a me nā accordions. Me ko lākou mau mana a me ko lākou akamai, hoʻomaka lākou e hana i nā lekiō like ʻole, nā amplifier, a me kahi laina piano pōkole.
Ma waho aʻe o ka hana ʻana i nā mea uila a me nā lako mele, ua hana ʻo Chicago i kekahi o kā lākou mau mea kani ponoʻī me nā ʻohe no nā mea kani keleawe a me nā mea hoʻopaʻa leo. Ma hope o WWII, ua hoʻokuʻu lākou i kahi kīkā uila i ka makahiki 1949 i hōʻike ʻia he kūleʻa ma muli o kona hiki ke loaʻa i nā mea kūʻai. Ua kapa hou ʻia ka hui ʻo CMI (Chicago Musical Instruments) i ka makahiki 1950 a ua loaʻa koke ʻia e ka hui CBS ma hope o ʻelua mau makahiki ma muli o kona kūleʻa wikiwiki i loko o ka mākeke ʻoiai ʻo kona hoʻomaka haʻahaʻa i ka makahiki 1883.
Ua hoʻomau ʻo CMI i ka hana ʻana i nā mea kani ma lalo o CBS a hiki i ke kūʻai ʻia ʻana i ka makahiki 1985. Ma lalo o ka mana CBS, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo CMI i kekahi mau kīkā e like me Les Paul models like P-90s reissues a me nā hiʻohiʻona kaulana loa e like me ka SG Special i 1968 ma mua o ka pau ʻana o ka hana ʻana. e 1969. ʻOiai ʻaʻole hāʻawi hou i nā mea kani hou mai ka makahiki 1970, ua hoʻāla hou ʻo CMI i kā lākou kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi SG Special e pili ana i nā hoʻolālā mai 1968 a me nā mea hou i hana ʻia ma lalo o Epiphone e hoʻomau nei i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i kekahi o nā hui mele kahiko loa o ʻAmelika i hoʻokumu ʻia ma luna o 100 mau makahiki i hala. Ke hoʻomau nei ia i ka hauʻoli ma o ke kani ʻoiai nā mea ʻē aʻe e hana nei a puni mākou i kēia lā.
Nā huahana a me nā mea hou
ʻO Chicago Musical Instruments, a i ʻole CMI, he hui hana mea kani ʻAmelika i hoʻokumu ʻia ma 1878. Ua kaulana ʻo CMI i ka honua mele no kā lākou huahana hou a manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia kekahi o nā hui koʻikoʻi o ka ʻoihana mele. Ma kēia ʻāpana, e nānā mākou i kekahi o kā lākou kōkua nui i ka honua mele a me ka nānā ʻana i nā huahana a me nā mea hou a lākou i lawe mai ai i ka ʻoihana.
Kākoʻolima pahu
Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka hui ʻo Chicago Musical Instruments i ka hopena o 1890s a he mea hana i nā mea kani like ʻole, me nā ʻano kīkā he nui. Ma waena o kā lākou hana kaulana loa, ʻo kā lākou mau kīkā acoustic e hōʻike ana i nā mea hou e like me nā ʻaoʻao laminated pressed, nā kino x-braced a me nā ʻāʻī hiki ke hoʻololi ʻia. ʻO ka maikaʻi o ka hana a me nā holomua i hāʻawi ʻia e kēia mau kīkā acoustic pūlima i hoʻokaʻawale iā lākou mai ka hoʻokūkū, e hana ana iā lākou kekahi o nā mea kani i ʻimi nui ʻia e nā mea hoʻokani pila a me nā mea hoʻokani pila.
Eia kekahi, ua loaʻa i ka hui ʻo Chicago Musical Instruments nā hana koʻikoʻi ʻē aʻe, e like me ka hana ʻana i kekahi o nā bass kino paʻa uila mua i ka makahiki 1936. Ua hōʻike kēia ʻano mea kani hou i kahi au hou o ka hana mele a me ka hana ʻana, ʻo ia ka mea e hoʻomau nei a hiki i kēia lā. Me ko lākou kūlana kiʻekiʻe o ka hana hana a me nā hana hou i ka hoʻolālā kīkā, ʻo Chicago Musical Instruments he mea koʻikoʻi ia i ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ke kani o nā mele hou.
Nā mea hoʻonui
ʻIke maikaʻi ʻia ʻo Chicago Musical Instruments no kāna mau mea hoʻonui hou, a ʻo ka nui o ia mau mea e lilo i mau mea hana maʻamau. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kā lākou amplifier mua, ʻo ka "CMI Special" i ka makahiki 1932 a ua kaena ʻo 12-in x 12-in speaker. ʻO kekahi o kā lākou mea hoʻonui kaulana ʻo 1937 "Ottoman Stand" amp. Ua kaulana loa kēia no ka mea i ʻae ʻia no ke kau ʻana i ka ʻaoʻao ma luna o ke kahua, e mālama ana i kahi kūpono.
Ua hoʻopuka ʻo CMI i nā amps no nā kīkā a me nā bassist i ko lākou noho aliʻi ʻana, akā ʻaʻole wale nā amplifiers i wehewehe i ka hoʻoilina o CMI i ka hana mele. Ua hoʻolauna pū lākou i nā ʻano hana hoʻopaʻa leo like ʻole i kā lākou mau hoʻolālā e hiki ai i ke kani mai kā lākou amps ke hoʻomohala maʻalahi i loko o kahi lumi a i ʻole ke keʻena me ka nalowale ʻole o ka leo a i ʻole ka maikaʻi ma muli o ka reverberation a me nā pane. ʻO kā lākou "Stringtone Cabinet" kaulana i hiki i nā mea pāʻani ke hoʻohui i nā leo he nui i loko o kahi keʻena hoʻokahi me ka mālamalama maikaʻi ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā hiʻohiʻona ʻē aʻe o ka manawa.
Eia kekahi, ua kaulana lākou no kā lākou mau mea ʻōlelo rotary e hōʻike ana i nā mea ʻōlelo pōʻai puni i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i loko o nā keʻena e hōʻike maoli i ka mana a me ka hiki o nā amps CMI. A hiki i kēia lā, makemake kekahi mau mea pāʻani i kēia ma mua o nā koho hou aku ma muli o ke ʻano o kā lākou launa ʻana me nā ʻano leo a me nā ʻano like ʻole. ʻO ka mea nui, hoʻohana pinepine nā mea pāʻani harmonica i nā leo rotary me ka kūleʻa nui e like me ka harmonica e loaʻa nā pilikia pane ke hoʻonui ʻia ma o nā keʻena leo maʻamau.
Nā hua uila
ʻO Chicago Musical Instruments kahi mea hana mea hana kiʻiʻoniʻoni nona ke kuleana no ka hoʻolauna ʻana i kekahi mau kīkā uila kupaianaha. I ka makahiki 1950, ua hoʻokomo ʻo CMI i ka ES-175; Ua hōʻike ʻia kēia kīkā i ʻelua mau ʻoki like ʻole, kahi kino paʻa a me ke alahaka stoptail, a me kahi hoʻolālā semi-hollow i hiki ai ke kani ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o nā kīkā kino paʻa.
Ua lilo kēia kīkā i kekahi o nā kīkā jazz kaulana loa ma ka mākeke. ʻAʻole i hoʻololi ʻia mai kona hoʻomaka ʻana a hoʻohana ʻia i nā hana mai nā ʻano mele a pau. Ua hoʻolauna pū ʻo CMI i ka Stratocaster ma 1954, e hōʻike ana i ʻekolu pickups a me kahi hoʻolālā hou e hiki ai i nā mea mele ke hoʻololi i nā pickups me ka maʻalahi. Ua lilo ia i hoʻokahi o nā kīkā kaulana loa i ka mōʻaukala, i hoʻohana ʻia e nā mea hana ʻoihana lehulehu ma nā ʻano he nui.
Ua hoʻomohala pū ʻo CMI i kekahi mau mea hana pohihihi; Ua hoʻolālā ʻia nā hiʻohiʻona pre-Gibson Les Paul ma waena o 1952 a me 1958 me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā kikoʻī ponoʻī a CMI. ʻAʻole lākou i kūleʻa e like me kā Gibson version hope loa akā ua ʻimi nui ʻia lākou e nā mea hōʻiliʻili ma muli o kā lākou rarities a me nā hiʻohiʻona waina. ʻO nā papahana ʻē aʻe i ʻike ʻole ʻia e like me ka 352/3 Bass V a me 335 bass models a hiki i 1964 i ka wā i ikaika loa ai ka hoʻokūkū no ka CMI e hoʻomau i ka hoʻokūkū ma ka hana ʻana i nā mea uila.
Keyboards
ʻO Chicago Musical Instruments kahi mea hana hou i ka ʻoihana hana kīpē. Ma luna o kona ola 30-makahiki, ua hana ka hui i nā kīpē maʻamau e like me ka Wurlitzer Electric Piano a me Mellotron, ʻo ia mau mea ʻelua i manaʻo ʻia me ka lawe ʻana i kahi pae hou o ka hoʻokumu ʻana i nā mea mele i nā makahiki 1960. ʻO ka Wurlitzer kekahi o nā piano uila mua loa, ʻoiai ua hana ka Mellotron i nā kani hou ma o kāna hoʻohana ʻana i nā lipine i hoʻopaʻa mua ʻia.
Ua hoʻokuʻu pū ka hui i kekahi mau hiʻohiʻona kaulana ʻole e like me ka spinet organs, combo organs a me nā mīkini string. ʻO ka spinet organ kekahi ʻano o ke kino pololei e hiki ai ke hoʻohua kino liʻiliʻi ma mua o nā kino kuʻuna e like me nā mea i loaʻa i nā hale pule. Ua hoʻohana nā hui hui i nā oscillator uila e hoʻohālike i nā mea kani ʻē aʻe e like me nā ʻāpana paipu lāʻau a me nā ʻohe. ʻO nā mīkini string kahi ʻano mua o ka synthesizer i hoʻolālā ʻia e hoʻohālike i nā ʻāpana string orchestral.
ʻO ka ʻenehana ʻo Chicago Musical Instruments i hoʻololi i nā mele kaulana a me nā ʻenehana hoʻopaʻa leo studio i ke kenekulia 20 a hāʻawi i nā mea hana hoʻomohala i hoʻohana ʻia e nā mea mele o kēia wā.
Ka pahu
ʻO Chicago Musical Instruments, i ʻike mua ʻia ʻo Wm. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ʻo Lang Company i ka makahiki 1866, a i loko o kāna moʻolelo ʻoi aku ma mua o 140 mau makahiki ua hana hou a hana i nā pahu pahu hou.
ʻO ka huahana kī mua ma ka ʻoihana pahu ma Chicago Musical Instruments i hoʻolālā ʻia e AJ Heublein lāua ʻo Elias Howe i ka makahiki 1882 - ʻo ka "Patent Improved" snare drum (ʻaʻohe mea i ʻike ʻia o kēia pahu i koe). ʻO kēia hoʻomaka mua ʻana mai CMI e hōʻike ana i kahi loli nui i ka hoʻolālā snare drum, me ʻelua mau koʻokoʻo hoʻopaʻapaʻa like ʻole ma kahi o nā hoops maʻamau a me kahi pūpū waimaka i hana ʻia mai ka lāʻau multi-ply a i ʻole nā mea metala i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i nā wēlau hāmama o nā lāʻau hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻelua. maikaʻi kani.
I ka makahiki 1911, ua hele mai kekahi huahana holomua mai Chicago Musical Instruments - kā lākou hoʻolālā tomtom "Improved Stave Tube". Ua hōʻike ʻia kēia mana i nā ʻaoʻao kūpaʻa paʻa a me kahi kikowaena hollow i hana ʻia me nā ʻauamo curved e hiki ai ke hoʻomalu i ka resonance ke paʻi ʻia e like me ka pahu tomtom maʻamau.
I loko o ke kenekulia 20, ua hoʻomau ʻo Chicago Musical Instruments i ka hana hou ʻana me nā pūpū alumini wili e like me kā lākou mau pahu kani 1965 Super Sensitone i kaulana ʻia e nā mea hoʻokani pila ma ka honua ma muli o ko lākou leo kūpono a me ka manaʻo. Ua alakaʻi pū ʻo CMI i nā mea hou i loko o nā pahu uila i loko o kēia manawa me nā mea hou e like me kā lākou 1980 Electronic Wind Instrument (EWI) - ka mea hoʻokele MIDI makani mua o ka honua i hiki ke hana i nā kani bassoon maoli!
Nā hopena lāʻau
ʻO Chicago Musical Instruments (CMI) he mea nui i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka ʻenehana mele, ʻoiai me nā pedal hopena.
Hoʻomohala ʻia e nā mea hoʻokumu o ka hui, ʻo Donles lāua ʻo Leonard, ua kapa ʻia kā lākou hopena hopena mua ʻo "Sound Master." Hāʻawi kēia pedal i kahi hopena reverberating, e ʻae ana i nā mea hoʻokani pila e hoʻohālikelike i nā hoʻopaʻa leo studio ma ke kahua. Ua hana pū lākou i kahi pahu fuzz i kapa ʻia ʻo Solodar Tone Generator a me kekahi mau pedal reverb e like me ka Super Vox. Ua hoʻoikaika nui kēia mau pedal hopena i nā mele rock and roll e like me kā mākou e ʻike nei i kēia lā.
ʻO ka hāʻawi nui ʻana a CMI i ke mele ʻo kā lākou hoʻokomo ʻana i nā synthesisers analog i ka makahiki 1967 me kā lākou "Synthesizer Control Voltage Generator" (ka SCV). Ua ʻae kēia mea kani i nā mea pāʻani e hoʻomalu i nā mea ʻē aʻe e like me ka pitch a me ka amplitude i ka wā e pāʻani pū ai me nā mea kani ʻē aʻe i kahi hoʻonohonoho hui - he mea koʻikoʻi kēia i hoʻololi i ke ʻano o ka haku mele ʻana o nā kānaka.
ʻO kā lākou hoʻoilina mamao loa i hele mai me kā lākou Universal Audio 1176 Limiting Amplifier. Manaʻo nui ʻia kēia ʻāpana kaʻao a he mea nui i nā studio hoʻopaʻa leo a puni ka honua. Ua hōʻike ʻia ma nā leo hoʻopaʻa ʻana e nā mea hoʻokani pila e like me Elvis Costello, Paul McCartney, Prince, Led Zeppelin a me nā mea hou aku he nui - e kōkua ana i ka hoʻokumu ʻana i nā mele kaulana no nā hanauna e hiki mai ana!
Ka ho'oilina
ʻO Chicago Musical Instruments (CMI) kahi ikaika nui i ka ʻoihana mele mai ka makahiki 1940 a i ka makahiki 1980. Ma o kā lākou mau huahana hou, e like me ka Hammond Organ a me ka Wurlitzer Electric Piano, ua kōkua ʻo CMI i ka hana ʻana i nā mele kaulana no nā makahiki he mau makahiki. Ke ola nei ka hoʻoilina o CMI ma o nā mea kani e mau nei ko lākou inoa. E nānā pono kākou i kā lākou hoʻoilina a me ke ʻano o ke ʻano o ka ʻoihana mele.
Ka hopena ma ka ʻoihana mele
Hoʻokumu ʻia ma Chicago, ʻo Legacy Musical Instruments kahi hui i hoʻololi i ka ʻoihana mele. Mai ka hana ʻana o ke kīkā uila i kā lākou hana mau ʻana i nā ʻāpana mea kani, ua lawe mai ʻo Legacy i nā mea hou i nā mele hou.
ʻO ka mea kaulana loa o kēia mau mea i hana ʻia, ʻo kā lākou kīkā uila alakaʻi ʻoihana. Ua hoʻololi ka hoʻolālā no kona manawa a ua hoʻololi i ke ʻano o ka hoʻokani ʻana a me ka hana ʻana i nā mele hou. Loaʻa koke ka kaulana o kēia hōʻailona o ke kīkā uila i loko o ke kaiāulu mele blues a lilo i mea koho kaulana i waena o nā mea mele rock, jazz, a me ka ʻāina pū kekahi.
Ke hoʻomau nei ka hoʻoilina i ka hana hou i kēia lā, e hana ana i kekahi o nā mea kani kiʻekiʻe loa e kū nei a me nā ʻāpana i hoʻohana ʻia e nā mea mele kaulana i ka huakaʻi ʻaha mele a me nā hanana ʻē aʻe. ʻO kā lākou kūpaʻa i ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā mea kani kiʻekiʻe ua alakaʻi iā lākou e paʻa i kekahi mau patent ma nā ʻenehana kani a me nā ʻenehana hana mea kani.
ʻAʻole hiki ke hōʻole ʻia ka hopena o ka Legacy Musical Instruments i ka holomua o ka mele. No nā makahiki he ʻelima, ua hoʻomau lākou i ko lākou hoʻolaʻa ʻana i ka lawe ʻana i nā mea kani maikaʻi me ka maikaʻi leo maikaʻi ʻole i nā pae a pau o nā mea mele ma nā ʻano āpau. A hiki i kēia lā, ʻo lākou kekahi o nā hui i mahalo nui ʻia i loko o ka ʻoihana mele i kēia mau lā a ke hoʻomau nei i ka pionia i ka ʻenehana mele holoʻokoʻa.
Hoʻoikaika i nā mele o kēia wā
He mea hou nui ka Legacy i ka ʻoihana mea kani, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka hana ʻana i nā mea kani lāʻau a me nā mea kani keleawe. He hopena koʻikoʻi kā lākou huahana i ka moʻomeheu mele o kēia wā, e hana ana i kekahi o nā ʻāpana kiʻiʻoniʻoni i hoʻohana ʻia i kēia lā. Ua hana ka hui i nā ʻano hiʻohiʻona like ʻole e hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia e nā poʻe hoʻomaka a me nā poʻe ʻoihana - mai nā pū kiʻekiʻe haumāna a i nā ʻāpana orchestral papa mele.
Ua kaulana loa lākou no kā lākou keleawe kiʻekiʻe a me nā mea kani lāʻau, e hoʻomau ʻia nei kekahi o nā mea i ʻimi nui ʻia i kēia mau lā. Ua hana lākou i nā hiʻohiʻona hiʻona e like me kā lākou BBb tuba a me nā flugelhorns, kekahi mau hiʻohiʻona pocket cornet, a me nā ʻano saxophones a me nā clarinets. Me kā lākou mau makani, ua hana pū ʻo Legacy i nā trombones ʻokoʻa, ma waena o nā ʻāpana keleawe ʻē aʻe.
Hiki ke ʻike ʻia ka mana o ka hoʻoilina i nā mele hou i ka ulu ʻana o nā ʻano mele kaulana mai ka jazz a i ke mele kahiko. ʻO ka hui kekahi o nā paionia i kōkua i ka hoʻokomo ʻana i nā mea uila i loko o nā hui liʻiliʻi - kahi ʻano i lilo i mea maʻamau ma nā ʻano āpau. Ke hoʻomau nei kā lākou hoʻoilina ma hope o kona Dissolution i ka makahiki 1986 ma o kā lākou hana kūikawā a me nā hoʻolālā manawa ʻole hiki ke lohe ʻia nā reverberations i kēia mau lā a puni ka honua.
Panina
ʻO Chicago Musical Instruments, i ʻike nui ʻia ʻo CMI, ʻo ia ka mea hana alakaʻi honua i nā mea kani a me nā huahana e pili ana i kā lākou 61-makahiki holo mai 1906 a hiki i 1967. I kēia manawa, ua koi lākou i nā palena o ka mea hiki ke hoʻomaka i nā mea hou a me nā mea hou. laina huahana.
