The historical development of ukulele

Ukulele is also highly respected by the royal family and nobles, such as King Karakava, Queen Emma and Queen Lily Okala, who all played Creary. Therefore, the ukulele piano is accepted by more Hawaiians, from fishermen and taro growers to kings and queens. Everyone likes to learn and play the ukulele piano. Around 19 15, ukuleles are very popular in North America. Hawaiian music attacked San Francisco and then swept across the country, stimulating the sales of Creary pianos in North America. The whirlwind also blew across the Atlantic to Britain.

The huge demand for Creary pianos promoted the production of ukulele pianos. At 19 10, among the first three Portuguese producers, only ManuelNunes is still alive. There are too many orders for him to handle alone. Young SamuelKaialiiliiKamaka began to apprentice to ManuelNunes. New competitors also joined the production of ukulele pianos, which led to the innovation of Creary's piano design and sound quality. One of the competitors, Kumalae, opened a new factory, which can produce 300 pianos every month. Despite the fierce competition, there are still so many orders flying all over the sky.

By 19 15, competitors from mainland America had also joined the production of ukulele pianos. Hawaiians are very angry and disappointed. Because these companies in the continental United States have engraved the words "Made in Hawaii". The Hawaiians fought back. They designed different trademarks and got legal protection. The ukulele piano manufacturer in Hawaii is authorized to mark the words "Made in Hawaii, USA" on the Creary piano. This is the reason why you Creary piano is different from non-Hawaiian production.

In the 1920s, American mainland manufacturers, such as Gibson, Harmony, Regal, China, Dobro and Martin, mass-produced thousands of pianos made by you Creary. On the basis of ManuelNunes' design, Martin made the first Creary piano in 19 16. Many Hawaiians praised Martin's ukulele piano, calling it a model of ukulele piano sound quality at that time.

In the forties and fifties, the great GeorgeFormby of Britain and ArthurGodfrey of the United States continued to develop ukuleles to keep them in the mainstream of American musical instruments. Great players like RoySmeck and EddieKarnae continue to play in Creary. However, in the TinyTim era in the late 1960s, the ukulele piano seemed to have been forgotten in the closet at home. By 1970s, Camaka was the only ukulele piano manufacturer in the world.

Today, Hawaiian music and ukulele are popular again. There are many talented producers in Hawaii who have begun to focus on the production of Creary. As a good example, Moi Music's piano has a slim figure and moving sound quality. He used abalone bone beams and inlays to give Creary a gorgeous appearance. Camaka occupies an important position in the history of piano manufacturing in Creary, and has stood the test of time. This is reflected in the fact that their order has been sent for twelve months.

On June 1 65438+1October1,2009, at 3 pm, the second lecture of the Sino-Singapore International Music Seminar "ukulele Pacific Music" was held in the academic lecture hall on the seventh floor of the comprehensive building. Herman-Piyiki-Clark from Hawaii introduced the history of Creary and its spread in Hawaii, and performed live ukulele songs, showing different styles of Hawaiian ukulele music.
