Компания ‘Scandalli’ представила свой новый бандонеон на выставке ‘Frankfurt Musikmesse’ – Германия

Scandalli BandoneonНа недавней выставке 'Frankfurt Musikmesse’ в Германии итальянский производитель аккордеонов, баянов и гармоник, компания Scandalli, впервые в своей истории представила бандонеон.

Бандонеон имеет длинную историю, начавшуюся в 1840 году, и в течение этого времени, как утверждается в некоторых исторических книгах, было создано более 100 различных видов этого инструмента.

В настоящее время единственная система, которая используется аргентинцами при исполнении танго, система ‘Rheinische Tonlage’ («Рейнская раскладка»), ее также часто называют Аргентинской системой.

Эта бисонорная система (иногда ошибочно называемая «диатонической») имеет 142 звука: 38 кнопок расположены в правой части и 33 кнопки в левой. Инструмент двухголосный, с голосами, настроенными в октаву. Новый бандонеон Scandalli производится с системой Rheinische с пятью дополнительными кнопками, поэтому полный диапазон этого инструмента 152 ноты: 39 + 37 кнопок.

Компания Scandalli также планирует сделать унисонорную модель (иногда называемую «хроматической»), более известную как "Peguri system" («Раскладка Peguri»). Такая система часто предпочитается обычными баянистами и аккордеонистами, решившими освоить бандонеон.

Одной из наиболее важных особенностей является то, что в бандонеоне Scandalli, как и почти во всех традиционных бандонеонах, устанавливаются латунные планки. Инструмент полностью выполнен вручную с использованием различных высококачественных пород дерева, при этом наиболее используемым остается палисандр, который обеспечивает особенный теплый и глубокий звук классического бандонеона.

Для компании Scandalli «Проект Бандонеон» представляет собой не только не только изготовление новой модели. Это своеобразное сотрудничество квалифицированных мастеров и дизайнеров и выдающегося музыканта, которые в течение нескольких месяцев совместно работали над созданием «бандонеона наивысшего качества».

Благодарим выдающейся музыкальной, художественной и технической компетентности Александара Николича, хорошо известного педагога, бандонеониста и лидера знаменитого квинтета ‘Beltango’, за участие в разработке этого нового продукта. Фото ниже: Александар Николич играет на новом инструменте на выставке ‘Musikmesse’ во Франкфурте.

Art Pahl Accordion Festival Tribute by Nephew, Iowa – USA

Sebastian PahlThe 14th annual Art Pahl Accordion Festival was held recently at the Plymouth County Historical Museum in Le Mars, Iowa.

Over a hundred came out for the memorial concert to enjoy a day of accordion music honoring Art Pahl, a locally famous accordionist. Playing music by accordion players throughout the world and showcasing local accordion players, 8 musicians dazzled the audience with polka tunes and classics dating as far back as the roaring 20s.

The late Art Pahl's nephew, Sebastian Pahl (picture left), played in the festival as tribute to his uncle, where he gave some inspiring words for budding accordionists and any amateur musicians.

"I would say go for it, I mean it's fun, it's relaxing and one thing about playing the accordion when you're playing the accordion, or actually any music instrument, is your mind is away. I mean if you have any worries they just disappear", says Sebastian Pahl.

Sebastian said his uncle loved to hear him play and loved to see others enjoying accordion music. Sebastian truly believes the festival is one of the best ways to remember his uncle as the musician he was. Art Pahl passed away in 2003.

“When he was up there I would always listen to him play and then I'd put his accordion on once in a while. He loved to hear me play. That's what he'd really love about this. He'd love to hear me play again. I like to play some of the stuff he played the way he played.

I think I have maybe 25 to 30 accordions because I never know what I'm going to play. So, usually when I'm playing somewhere I take 2 or 3 accordions with me and the button accordion too. But once I start playing, I can keep playing for about 2 to 3 hours straight, steady play. I try to keep my own music but I'll play some of that music but I'll play it my way. That's what keeps it fun!"

Accordion Teacher Tony Marchel Reflects, Manchester – UK

Manchester-based accordion teacher Tony Marchel commented on social media: “I had a strange but lovely moment this morning. Because I had to shuffle my lessons around I found that I had two French beginner accordion students back to back.

Both are lovely people and as one was leaving and the other arriving they stopped in my living room for a chat....in French.

Even though they were complete strangers I could see the joy in their faces as they talked for 10 minutes in their native tongue. Wonderful!”

14 Years Ago: 2002 - Galla-Rini Recovering After Taking a Fall – USA

Anthony Galla-RiniThe Accordions Worldwide News for April 5th 2002 included news that the veteran American accordionist/composer Anthony Galla-Rini (1904-2006) had had an accident, and was hospitalised. Galla-Rini, whose accomplishments in the accordion world outrank most others, was an active teacher, composer and performer throughout his long life, and did indeed recover from the fall he suffered at the age of 98. He was an example to us all.

Galla-Rini Recovering after Taking a Fall – USA
Contributed by Kevin Friedrich

Maestro Anthony Galla-Rini is recovering comfortably at the Palomar Rehabilitation Care Center after breaking his hip during a recent fall. He will remain at the Center for about five weeks and doctors have told him he should recover fully. Mr Galla-Rini has already had to get out of bed and stand up and, while he says it hurt tremendously, he also reports he is extremely glad that nursing staff made him do it. The doctors are also treating him for a touch of emphysema while he remains at the Care Center.

Mr Galla-Rini is in good spirits and (as is usual for him) is more worried about his musical activities, and so informs everyone that the arrangements for his July Music Camp are already completed. Fantastic! Well wishes may be sent to: Mr. Anthony Galla-Rini, Redwood Town Court, #203, 500 E. Valley Pkwy, Escondido, CA 92025-3006.

We wish the Maestro a speedy recovery!

‘The Bean Soup Project’ @ WMAS, Virginia – USA

‘The Bean Soup Project’ posterThe Washington Metropolitan Accordion Society present ‘The Bean Soup Project’, from Baltimore, as guests on Sunday April 17th, 4pm, at the Sleepy Hollow United Methodist Church, 3435 Sleepy Hollow Rd, Falls Church, Virginia 22044.

'The Bean Soup Project' is the culmination of 20 years of songwriting talent and perseverance. The group consists of three main songwriters: Bob Sturgill (vocals and guitar), Lindy McNutton (vocals and guitar) and Duffy Llama (vocals, accordion and keyboards).

The group is rounded off by Ken Horanoff on bass. Box Turtle Bob Chirnside is a recurring writer and player who fills in on drums whenever we can pry him away from his other many projects. As its name suggests, the Bean Soup Project is meant to be a mixture of many tastes and textures.

Ken adds the foundation of the soup, the thick tasty broth, Lindy brings the veggies and potatoes with his down to earth vocal style and solid guitar playing, Bob handles the spices with his sharp vocals and playing style, while Duffy, of course, is the ham. Guest writers and players are welcome to add their own special bean to the soup.

This is a homemade soup with songs cooked up by its own members, not some microwaved regurgitation of worn out cover tunes. Original Songs for Original People!
