William C. Stahl Banjo Ukulele
William C. Stahl was born in 1869, and became interested in music at an early age. He learned to play banjo and, while still a teenager, composed a banjo solo that was published by S. S. Stewart. Music became his profession, and after teaching for a few years he established a company in Milwaukee that manufactured instruments and published music. He claimed to be the first maker of tenor banjos. In addition to the instruments Stahl built, he also had them built by other companies, including the famous Larson Brothers, under the Stahl name.

Openback banjo ukuleles exist with WM. STAHL MAKER MILWAUKEE, WIS. stamped on the dowel stick. They have an attractive peghead inlay and diamond inlays on the fingerboard. Very likely they were not actually built by Stahl.

Historische Bildpostkarten - Startseite - Universität Osnabrück
Das Bildarchiv mit dem Titel "Historische Bildpostkarten - Universität Osnabrück - Sammlung Prof. Dr. Sabine Giesbrecht" ist seit November 2010 Eigentum der Universitätsstiftung Osnabrück. Die Sammlung wird als Depositum in der Universitätsbibliothek Osnabrück verwahrt und von der Professur für Historische Musikwissenschaft des Instituts für Musikwissenschaft und Musikpädagogik betreut.

Die hier vorgestellten ca. 13500 Postkarten sind seit etwa 1980 systematisch gesammelt und nach Inhalt und Aussagekraft ihrer Themen und Motive ausgewählt worden. Sie geben einen Einblick in das politische, soziale und ästhetische Denken der Zeit zwischen der Jahrhundertwende und dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. An vielen Beispielen wird deutlich, welche Aspekte des Lebens die Aufmerksamkeit auf sich gezogen und wofür sich zahlreiche Menschen interessiert haben.

Postkarten im eigentlichen Sinne gibt es seit 1870. Heinrich von Stephan (1831-1897), dessen Grabstätte, auf dem Dreifaltigkeitsfriedhof zu Berlin, die Abbildung rechts zeigt, führte 1870 die Postkarte ein und gründete 1874 den "Weltpostverein". In großem Stil setzte sich dieses Kommunikationsmittel jedoch erst um 1900 durch. Höhepunkt der Produktion war die Zeit des Ersten Weltkrieges, die hier auch mit Feldpostkarten gut vertreten ist. In der Weimarer Republik und der NS-Zeit sank das Interesse und mit ihm die Anzahl der Karten. Daher sind vor allem die 30er und 40er Jahre nicht ganz so präsent wie die ersten beiden Jahrzehnte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Das Ende der nationalsozialistischen Herrschaft und des Zweiten Weltkrieges erzeugte einen derart gravierenden Einschnitt in die politischen und sozialen Verhältnisse Deutschlands, dass es sinnvoll und legitim erschien, die Sammlung nicht mehr über 1945 hinaus bis in die Nachkriegszeit fortzuführen.

Die Bilder dienen der Forschung und Lehre und sind mit dem Logo der Universität Osnabrück versehen. Die Leihscans der verschiedenen Kooperationspartner sind durch jeweils eigene Besitzervermerke gekennzeichnet, die anzeigen, wo die originalen Karten aufzufinden sind.

Edinburgh Research Archive: The Guittar in the British Isles, 1750-1810
Abstract: The guittar, now commonly known as the ‘English guittar’, is a small plucked instrument which was widely used in the British Isles from the middle of the 18th to the beginning of the 19th centuries. Appearing in a variety of shapes and sizes, and having essentially wire strings and an open major tuning, it was more related to the cittern, and quite different from the Spanish guitar. Being cheap, elegant, and relatively easy to play, the guittar quickly became popular among amateur musicians, especially upper-class ladies. In addition, the guittar was at the forefront of mechanical and technical invention, and especially the later types of the instrument were often fitted with several innovative devices that found use on other contemporary or successor instruments. This thesis refines the results of past research concerning the guittar by undertaking a critical review of the relevant literature, and by introducing new data collected during the detailed examination and comparison of numerous surviving guittars in museums and private collections. The results are supported by the investigation of a wide variety of primary sources, including literary references, newspaper advertisements, patent records, legal documents, music scores, and iconographical evidence. The research has led to the establishment of a methodology for the documentation and classification of extant guittars using a prototype template, and to the creation of various reference databases for the future study of the instrument. This thesis is the first complete study of the guittar in the British Isles during the second half of the 18th century. It presents the most important facts and figures related to the origins and development of the instrument, while documenting and highlighting its main historical, musical and technical features, with emphasis on aspects of design, construction and decoration. Additionally, this thesis examines the guittar’s social and cultural role as a predominantly domestic female instrument, and also brings to light new interesting details about the establishment of a guittar trade within and outside the British Isles. Finally, it accounts the main reasons for the decline of the guittar and also identifies its significance in the wider fields of musicology and organology, indicating possible relations and influences with other contemporary musical instruments across Europe.

I build my guitars in an atypical fashion. Never reproducing the same inlay design twice, I customize each instrument (even on my most basic model) to give every guitar it’s own aesthetic individuality. I use only the finest tone woods available allowing me to create striking and vocal instruments. Utilizing my luthiery education, I have developed a sound that is as unique in its design as my inlay art.

Perfekt aufeinander abgestimmt waren aber natürlich vor allem die zarten Töne der 17 Mandolinen, sechs Gitarren und des Akkordeons von Gisela Horst. "52 Jahre alt und acht Kilo schwer", wie die Orchesterchefin schmunzelnd verriet. Das aber wolle "ja nie jemand hören". Dem Publikum war das dann allerdings einen Applaus wert. Und der galt natürlich gleichermaßen dem großen Engagement der ehemaligen Sekundarschulleiterin von Kalbe, die nicht nur alle Orchestersätze selbst schreibt, sondern das Ensemble vor Jahrzehnten gründete und dann vor rund vier Jahren wieder auferstehen ließ.

I find objects fascinating. Have you ever picked up something in a charity shop and thought about the life its lived? What’s the objects history? Who has held it, loved it, lost it; how has its meaning changed over time? I try to take all of this into account when envisioning a project. I also think about the viewer. What does this object mean at a cultural level? I try to keep as much of the object intact – and I attempt to honor its character as much as physically possible in the final manifestation. I love finding a world in a world.

My current passion is the idea of using nets to “capture” what isn’t physically there… more on this later. I’m working on something really magnificent. Can’t wait to share it. Till next time – Erika iri5

On the other side is this gorgeous “harp-guitar” by Barry. I argued (and will continue to) that this confuses the issue a bit for the uninitiated, as it is belongs with the open-C-tuned Edward Light harp-lute inventions rather than guitars. Perhaps used because this one only has 6 strings instead of the more typical 7 or 8? To confuse things further, it is also labeled a “lute guitar” (Matthew doesn’t remember where he found this specific name – I’ll be tracking it down, as I suspect it’s an error or misinterpretation).

Guitar - Victoria & Albert Museum - Search the Collections
The English guitar was in vogue from about 1750 until 1790. It was particularly popular among fashionable ladies who often preferred the version, like this one, that was fitted with piano-keys so as to preserve their nails from wire strings. Examples like this one were also tuned with a watch-key, most often in C major. The modern Portuguese guitar is descended from this type of instrument. This English guitar was made by Friederich Hintz (d. 1772), a German immigrant cabinetmaker, who specialised in making metal-inlaid furniture as well as musical instruments.

Spielpraxis und historische Stimmungen der Zister
Spielpraxis und historische Stimmungen der Zister
Andreas Michel
In ihrer Frühgeschichte gehörte die Zister - zusammen mit Laute und Gitarre - zu jenen Saiteninstrumenten, die mit einem Plektrum aus Federkielen, Horn, Schildpatt, Baumrinde o.ä. angeschlagen wurden. Während sich jedoch bei Laute und Gitarre etwa im letzten Drittel des 15. Jahrhunderts der Übergang zu einer gezupften Anschlagsweise mit Fingerkuppen vollzog, blieb die Zister – von einigen Ausnahmen bei Baßinstrumenten abgesehen - immer in der Plektrumspielweise verhaftet.

Retrofret - Harp Guitar, from the workshop of A. Barry , c. 1805 - Brooklyn, NY
Harp Guitar, from the workshop of A. Barry , c. 1805
Harp Guitar, from the workshop of A. Barry , c. 1805

Harp Guitar, from the workshop of A. Barry, c. 1805, made in London, ebonized wood finish, ebonized plain wood back and neck, ebonized spruce or pine top, ivory frets.

The harp guitar was invented by Edward Light in 1798 and made by A. Barry in London. This was the beginning of a series of instruments invented by Light which invluded the harp-lute, the harp-lute guitar, the dital harp (see catalog #3220) and ended with the Apollo lyre around 1825. It's called a harp guitar because of the harp like back and the guitar like neck.

The top of this instrument is painted with gold grape vines, musical trophies and an urn and floral motif and has a fretwork gilt rosette. The fingerboard has 12 ivory frets and the peghead has six ebony pegs and is painted with a gold floral branch. The bottom rib has an original turned ivory button.

Formerly in the estate of Rose Augustine.

Height is 31 1/2 in. (80 cm.), 12 1/4 in. (31.1 cm.) width. Scale length is 18 1/2 in. (470 mm.). Some cracks in top and minor scratches. Very Good Condition.

Edward Light Table Harp-lute, c. 1815, made in London, gilt borders on black varnish finish, chestnut back and sides, composition base, spruce top and ivory segmented nut.

Lute neck bears hand painted gold script reading "582 Light Foley Place London". Harp style column on the bass side and short fretted lute neck with wide fingerboard on the treble side. One piece curved back with single slot shaped sound hole at center. Five open harp strings, seven lute strings, one articulated "dital" (a thumb activated pitch raising device) and three ring-stops. Straight bridge is non-pin type with strings which are to be loop-hitched. Hand painted gold and decal designs depicting grapes leaves and vines, acorn and leaves around top. Cherub playing harp, sun-ray rosette and pillar with gilt highlights.
This was the second of three harp-like designs developed by London organist Edward Light (b. 1747). Later versions by Light were more lyre in style. Most had a multiple stave construction for the back making this one piece version somewhat out of the ordinary. These instruments were most likely made by Barry & Harley of London, who were craftsmen active from 1798 to 1820.

Similar to the extant example in London's Victoria and Albert Museum, this unique instrument was first publicized in 1815. The Harp-lute, and somewhat more common six string Lyre-guitar and Harp-guitar, became popular for a brief period "reflecting times when ladies' fashions extended to small musical instruments, in this case married to the neo-classical pose" (Baines).

Very Early Partial Capo History: by Harvey Reid
The era of what are most often now called "harp-lutes" involves a number of quite different variations of an instrument, made and improved upon by a number of instrument makers in London and Paris, between about 1800 and 1825, called variously harp-guitar, harp-lute, lute-harp, harp-lyre, harp-lute-guitar, Apollo-Lyre, and even harp ventura for the ones made by A.B. Ventura. The Princess Charlotte of Wales played one, and was tutored by Angelo Ventura himself. They were touted as improvements on the guitar and of the harp, and were larger, louder, and had between 7 and 23 strings. They were made by Light, Levien, Ventura, Packer, Wheatstone and possibly others. A considerable amount of sheet music and numerous tutorial books were published for the harp-lutes. Marketed to "ladies" to accompany their songs and play tunes, they often had harp-guitar style extra bass strings, and though they looked sometimes like table harps, they were strung more like guitars, with the bass strings closest to the player. (Harpists normally reach for the bass notes, and have treble strings closest.) The language used to sell and describe them is pretty entertaining, though it distracts serious historians from the fact that these instruments actually contained something of musical value that was lost.

Because the market for nice harps and guitars was rich women, it is not fair to fault the instrument builders for not falling into our modern concept of "cool" instruments being played by peasants. European organized classical music instruction had pretty much killed off the "unschooled" folk music by this time, except in the Balkans and little corners of Scotland and Brittany, and our modern concept of folk music (especially in the forms familiar to Americans) does not really apply to that world. Queen Elizabeth I outlawed minstrelsy in 1498, and street musicians and wandering minstrels were put in jail more often than they were invited into the homes of the wealthy to entertain. Hard-working peasants in 1800 probably had almost no time to play fiddle once they were locked into a serf-like agricultural existence or employed 7 days a week, 16 hrs a day in a new Industrial Revolution factory. Working class people were not buying gilded, inlaid instruments, and as would happen today, the best builders gravitated toward the market, which for guitars and harps, apparently was women in the higher social classes. There really was no middle class as we know it at that time in history.
