Girls can make guitars too

14.s293.jpg15.s293.jpg

Linda Manzer is making guitars for 30 years, and she loves it.

The most important thing to me is that the player is inspired by the guitar.

And plays it.

Afri-Can Guitars

Afri-range.jpg

Afri-can Guitars is the brain child of Graeme Wells, an engineer residing in Cape-Town, South-Africa.

Graeme became aware that there was a need for an environmentally friendly guitar using predominantly re-cycled products and keeping the use of wood to a minimum.

The idea of using a 5 litre oil can is not new as it has been used since the introduction of the oil can back in the early 1900’s. Graeme took it to the next level though with the development of an aluminium neck and noiseless pick-ups.

The instrument now has a unique sound of it’s own and is carving a place for itself on the world stage.

Music and The Human Ear

earcol.gif

Art Ludwig’s Sound Page : Music and human hearing contains information on the softest and loudest sounds we can hear, the range of frequencies we can hear, subjective vs. objective loudness, how we locate the source of a sound, and sound distortion. The human ear is a truly remarkable instrument. At one point in ludwig’s life he designed Electronic Counter Measures (ECM) systems for the U. S. military. The primary function of an ECM system is to detect an enemy before he (it’s rarely a she) detects you, for self-defense. It is interesting to compare the characteristics of a good ECM system and human hearing

Doug Rowell: Carved guitars

wangcaster.jpg

Doug Rowell been carving wood for overs 40 years. His humble claim is: "I can carve anything.. out of anything." Check out his carved guitars

Pic above: The wangcaster started out as a Cort Stratocaster copy.

"I bought it on-line. But when I took it apart it turned out the body was plywood. So I decided to have some fun. I made a new body out of Cherry wood, added some maple for a new headstock, made a new pickguard and… voila!"

Smallest guitar, about the size of a human blood cell

nanogtr.gif

Old page but still very cute : World’s smallest silicon mechanical devices are made at Cornell…Smallest guitar, about the size of a human blood cell, illustrates the technology for nano-sized electromechanical devices.

The world’s smallest guitar is 10 micrometers long — about the size of a single cell — with six strings each about 50 nanometers, or 100 atoms, wide. Made by Cornell University researchers from crystalline silicon, it demonstrates a new technology for a new generation of electromechanical devices.Photo by D. Carr and H. Craighead, Cornell.The above image (508 x 327 pixels) is the digital image created by the electron microscope, and is the highest-resolution version available.
