violin history...

A Dutch researcher from the Leiden University Medical Center first demonstrated the reward of using medical examination tools to analyze classical music instruments. Famous artisan, Dr. Berend Stoel placed classical violins including many made by Stradivarius, into a medical instrument called the CT scanner. The similarities of the thickness of the wood from which the classical violin was made in relation to modern violins, may tell why the classical violin has superior sound output.

Experts are capitulated by the concept of the classical Cremonese violins from famous violinists such as Stradivan are still unique in the ways of tone quality and sound projection. Technical progression over 300 years has not given a vast amount of advances towards achieving the uniqueness of the classical violin makers. Up until now, it has been almost impossible to study the classical violin without taking some risk of damaging the instrument.

Dr. Stoel having the knowledge of lung density has come up with a new computer program to study the wood thickness of the classical violin from the CT scan. The modern violin related to the classical violin did not differ much as far as wood thickness and density.

The researchers have concluded the difference in wood thickness touch on vibration efficacious and therefore the output of sound. This break through may provide the reasons for the high quality of these violins. This perceptiveness offers new possibilities into duplicating the tonal characters of these old instruments. Therefore, the CT scan has really made a difference in comparing the wood of different instruments.

Hi-hats were originally known as the clangers. Its design was much easier, too. Small cymbals were placed at the top of the rim, bass drum, and the sound is when the hand that was located at the base, stuck. Then the snow-show and low-boy or a low-brimmed hat.

Until 1960, the typical height of Hi-Hat cymbal was a 14-inch. There were 13-inch size cymbals, but they were limited in stock, and 12-inch versions were aimed at children in mind.

Crash cymbals that are available today, weighing less than it is a modern Hi-Hat cymbals. There are, however, changes in weight and size. One of the major developments in the manufacture of Hi-Hat is an X-hat. This is a variation on earlier versions of Hi-Hat cymbals. X-hat is both half open and closed high hats.

Reproduction Technology Hi-Hat

When the pedal is pressed top cymbal climbs and then down to get the sound. Sound, which is not enough, on and off. When cymbals half open or close it gives different sounds. Adjust the distance between the two cymbals can produce various sounds. Drumsticks also used to play high hands, together with the pedal.

It was prepared by Ace Tony who was later named Roland. Early drum machines were often referred to as rhythm machines.

In 1960, Raymond Scott constructed Rhythm Synthesizer and in 1963 a drum machine called Bandito Bongo Artist. Most of these modern machines sequencers with a sample playback or synthesizer component that specializes in the reproduction of drum timbres as well as the noise of other traditional percussion instruments.

Synthesis of the sounds of a drum

Early machines used analog sound synthesis, rather than digital sampling in order to promote their music. Snare drum sound, usually created by using an explosion of white noise, the sound of the bass drum would be made using sine waves or other basic signals. This meant that the resulting sound may not be very close as a real instrument.

There are specific percussion sound modules, which can be obtained by pickups, trigger pads or via MIDI. Most of these special machines can also be controlled using MIDI. Drum machines can be programmed in real time, when the user sets the exact point in time at which the note will sound. Control typically includes tempo, start and shutdown, the volume of individual sounds, the key to the creation of individual drum sounds, and places for storage of different rhythms.

Digital sampling drum machine

Linn LM-1 Drum Computer was the first machine of this type for the use of digital samples. He was released in 1980. Many of the drum sounds on LM-1, consisting of two chips, which were collected at the same time, and each voice was individually tunable with individual outputs.

His most famous outfit is the white jumpsuit with the turned out collar, bell bottoms with an intricate design on the sides and the exceedingly large belt with an even bigger belt buckle covered in rhinestones. This is still a famous costume to wear during Halloween parties. The hit musical Grease is another benefactor to this fashion trend. The sight of John Travolta clad in tight black jeans with a plain white t-shirt and his T-Bird Leather jacket is already enough of a statement of the Elvis fever.

Who could ever forget the era of the Beatles? They, along with their signature bowl cuts and all black suits, started the leading trend in the 1960's.

The members of KISS are now considered immortal because of their heavy make up (face painted all white with black lip stick and their eyes bordered with black make up in a design of a mask), their stage costumes, and their awesome live performances. Their clothing during a concert is wild yet distinguishable to the public. Which is probably one reason why they are one of the most enduring faces of the 1970's.

The 80's marks the appearance of Heavy Metal and Glam Rock. What other band should be cited as the leading rockstars of this time than AC / DC? AC / DC can probably be distinguished from the private school boy look .... Worn by the band members themselves. Other than this, the ripped jeans, ripped t-shirt, and sneakers look became a famous fashion trend as well.

About the 90's, these were the times when vintage was brought back. Most of the fashion trends during those times were from pop stars and other fashion icons.
