To many people, Music City is just about country music, but our town has a rich and diverse musical heritage that continues to grow. The Music City Youth Orchestra is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing a dynamic atmosphere for student musicians in Middle Tennessee to explore a diverse repertoire for string orchestra. This past weekend, I had an opportunity to visit them during a rehersal and take pictures of each musician. To learn more about this fantastic organization, see their website:

The first group of Portuguese immigrants to Hawaii invented the ukulele after they arrived in August 1879 via the SS Ravenscrag. That ship included cabinet makers from Madeira Island, who brought the Medeiran machete. In their new country, ukulele inventors Manuel Nunes, José do Espírito Santo, and Augusto Dias developed the ukulele, and the Hawaiians adopted it (ukulele means "jumping flea" in Hawaiian).

 

George E. K. Awai and his Royal Hawaiian Quartet popularized the small, guitar-like instrument when they performed at the Panama Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco in 1915. From then on to the early 1920s, the ukulele became popular on the mainland United States.

Text: "Holiday Time! And new ukuleles at $1.35.

 

"It's always 'uke' time--always time for fun and song and--'ukes.' But 'specially so now it's getting near to gift time. All the parties start about now, too. These are nicely finished ukuleles, with a good resonant tone. And only $1.35!

I have always had a fondness for music, and this is the first in a group of instrument images I will do starting with the strings.

BTW I am including both classical and rock instruments.

Text: "The languorous charm of the Hawaiian native instruments--so moving in appeal, so observably in vogue--is strikingly characteristic of the ukulele. Its tone possesses that curiously beautiful timbre, that exotic charm of tonal quality which has made these instruments so sensationally popular.

 

"The ukulele has a pleasing grace of form. The finer models are made of genuine Hawaiian koa wood. It is much in request today among the smarter college and other musical organizations.

 

"It is easy to learn. Its price includes an instruction book.

 

"Hawaiian steel guitar. Every chord struck upon this typically representative Hawaiian instrument is marked by a weird, plaintive harmony and strangely beautiful qualities of tone. It brings, to any music, qualities full of vivid color and varied charm."
