Cremona Maestro “Special Edition” ViolinModern recreations of rare masterpieces!

Fine instruments in every respect, all Special Edition Maestro violins feature the very best and rarest woods, and are superblyhandcrafted by extraordinarily skilled luthiers whose goal is toproduce a “perfect” instrument every time.

At the top of Cremona’s Maestro Series is a re-creation of the legendary “Hellier” Strad. The “Hellier” is the most famous ofAntonio Stradivari’s inlaid violins. Originally purchased by SirSamuel Hellier in the early 18th century directly from theMaster, the instrument eventually passed to Mr. H.E. Morriss, aShanghai newspaper publisher. Fortunately, Mr. Morriss tookthe Hellier with him to England before World War II; after WorldWar II, Morriss saw all of his Shanghai possessions confiscatedby the revolutionary functionaries of Mao Zedong and put ondisplay as “plunder”. The original “Hellier” is presently in theSmithsonian in Washington, D.C.

Limited availability: The supply of these extremely rare, veryold woods and inlay materials is extremely limited andirreplaceable.

The Beginning:When we set out, more than 25 years ago, to meet students’, parents’and teachers’ needs for affordable, high quality, violin family instru-ments, our ultimate goal was to increase the number of peoplewho make music on bowed instruments.

We know how important the quality and accessibility of a firstinstrument are in determining who gets a chance to play, whosucceeds and who quits in frustration. This has resulted in ourcontinuous efforts to eliminate the 2 biggest deterrents to abeginner’s success: high cost of getting started and poorly madeinstruments and bows that lead to frustration and “failure.” In theprocess, Cremona became a market leader among the world’smost popular and respected violin lines.

Upgrade Objectives: VN/VA• Focus attention where it matters most: done.• Maintain existing affordable prices: done.• Push the quality envelope: done.• Comparable item numbers mean comparable specs: done.

Focus attention where it matters most: finish, bow and case.We developed innovations in design, materials and manufacturingmethods that resulted in the finest combination of features avail-able at each price point without raising prices.

• FinishComplicated, thinly applied, translucent, warm brown finish addsbeauty while allowing an unimpeded view of the excellent qualityof both materials and craftsmanship. The top’s tight-grainedspruce, the select maple of the back, sides and neck, the beautyof the finish itself, and the high quality handwork in every detailare there for all to see.

• Bows: J.LaSalle LB-15 Series Octagonal BowsBows with octagonal sticks are generally easier to play becausethey are stiffer, with better control and response, than equivalentbows with round sticks. They’re rarely available to students. Wechanged that. The J.LaSalle LB-15 Series Bows feature high qualityoctagonal Brazilwood stick, ebony frog, quality fittings and gen-uine unbleached white horsehair. Balance, response and overallplayability are excellent.

• Cases: VN [4/4-1/4]; VA [16"-12"]Our exclusive, state of the art, Travelite® TL-35 violin cases arebest-sellers. Our customized version, the Travelite® TL-33, is avail-able exclusively on Cremona Student Violin & Viola Outfits.

Perhaps no single approach to playing the guitar has pushedthe limits more than fingerstyle — a technique that uses, togreat advantage, the fingers of the right hand to individuallypluck the strings, rather than a flat pick to strum or pick them.Melody, independently moving bass lines and inner voicescombine to create a complete, almost “orchestral” sound.

To fit the needs of this very special kind of player, Saga intro-duces its new line of Trinity College fingerstyle guitars.Possessing very organic qualities, with every dimension in perfect proportion, these guitars will help to bridge the gapbetween fine import instruments and boutique works of art.Available in a choice of two material combinations — Solidspruce and Indian rosewood or Solid Red cedar and mahogany— with either a 12-fret or 14-fret neck body joint, this unique guitar is sure to create a stir in the sophisticated market of fingerstyle instruments.

Blueridge Parlour GuitarsHistory and tradition in two great Blueridge guitars!

Developed in the spirit of creativity and prosperity that was feltin America after the turn of the century and from the aftermath ofthe Great San Francisco Quake of 1906, Saga musical instrumentsremembers the past by introducing the New Blueridge BR-341and BR-361 Historic “Earthquake” Series Parlour-style guitars.Both models were developed from exceptional examples of thattime period and clearly show that quality can stand the test oftime. Over 100 years later, those early parlour instruments madestill continue to be the best sounding and highest valued collec-tables on the market today, and now serve as our inspiration forthis new line.

Made with the professional player and instrument aficionado inmind, both instruments offer features that distinguish them-selves visually and tonally. For example, the BR-341 includes asolid select Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany for the backand sides, with body binding of dark tortoise and a sound holerosette to match. This combination provides for a rich warmeven tone. While in contrast, the BR-361 consists of the selectsolid Sitka spruce top, East Indian rosewood back, sides andbinding, as well as herringbone marquetry around the soundhole and matching back stripe giving this model a darker tonewith rich bass response. Similarly, both models have the new V-style slotted mahogany neck with 17/8" nut width, while theBR-361 has a one-piece neck with traditional diamond volute.For accurate tuning, both instruments have nickel-plated Gotohtuners.

In keeping with that same feeling of optimism and appreciationfor fine instruments, Blueridge and the New “Earthquake”Parlour-style guitars will be your window to the past and alsohelp to inspire any player to create their own brand of music byexploring those early musical sounds of the pioneers ofAmerican traditional and folk music!

Regal GuitarsOwn a piece of history — Regal Duolian guitars!

The Duolian Resonator Guitar was a favorite with blues legendssuch as Son House, Bukka White and Tampa Red when it firstappeared in 1931. In the days before electric amplification,blues musicians were looking for an instrument that could produce the volume they needed while still maintaining thetone they required. The Duolian was the answer.

Throughout the Delta at roadside dives, house parties, and onstreet corners blues musicians put down their wooden guitars infavor of the metal body Duolian. The sharp attack and rapiddecay so characteristic of the Duolian instantly cut through the ambient clatter of the local honky tonk! These were the“amplified” guitars of the 1930’s. When the blues migrated fromthe Mississippi Delta to Chicago so did the Duolian. It becamea staple in Chicago’s south side blues scene in the forties, fiftiesand beyond.

The Regal RC-1 metal-body resonator guitar recalls the classicinstruments of the 1930’s with its pearloid peghead veneer androlled-in F-holes. Regal has added an adjustable truss rod tothe slimmer neck required by contemporary musicians.

The original was a bargain in the ’30s; the new Deco Duoliancontinues that tradition. Take a trip to the Delta and pick up aRC-1 today!

There’s never been another Dobro like it — the RD-52 is anunprecedented value with a style all it’s own! Inspired by a hitbluegrass song, this beautiful instrument features an originalpearl peghead design that outclasses anything at three timesthe price! That’s just what you’d pay for any other Dobro withcomparable features, such as Quarterman cone, old-style soundwell with parallelogram openings, correct “California” bodyshape and squareneck dimensions. The list goes on and on.

The new RD-52 is the equal of any professional-grade Dobromade, yet is priced within the reach of the working musician.The fingerboard is select ebony and the entire guitar is finishedin a high gloss translucent black.

The scale is the traditional 25" and the nickel-plated butterbeantuners complete the vintage look of this modern classic. EachRD-52 is fully shop-adjusted and approved before shipment.

We believe the new Regal RD-52 Black Lightning is the greatestvalue ever offered in a Dobro guitar — and when you get one inyour hands, you will too!

The Kentucky Mandolin FamilyAmerica’s Favorite Mandolin

Since their introduction in the mid-1970s Kentucky Mandolins,set a new value standard first for A model mandolins and then forF models. By the early 1980s Kentucky Master Model Mandolinswere showing up on Bluegrass record album covers and in thestudio with increasing frequency.

Proponents of David Grisman’s new DAWG music found instantgratification in the designs of John Monteleone as interpreted bythe craftsmen in our Kentucky shop. Kentucky Master ModelMandolins, Mandolas, and Mandocellos from that era are rarelyseen on the vintage market — apparently it is extremely difficultto pry them loose from their owner’s hands — but when they are,the prices have appreciated remarkably for instruments of a rela-tively recent vintage.

Kentucky Mandolins have their design roots firmly in the soil ofthe 1920s, the period in which A and F model mandolin designelements were finalized. Take a close look at the Kentucky MasterModel and notice the pleasing sweep of every body curve. Thetop and back graduations are done by hand by a maker trained inthe violin-making tradition to bring out the best in each piece ofselect tone wood.

We invite you to compare each model detail to detail with any ofour competitors. Our passion for detail and long experience willquickly be obvious to both the eye and ear. Select your favoritefrom three levels of the Kentucky Family Tree:

The Gold Star Banjo FamilyThe Rebirth of the Vintage Banjo

The banjo originated in Africa and was brought by slaves to America,where the fifth string was added, about 1840. It has undergone asteady evolution and refinement since that time. The early and mid 1920’s was the most exciting and creative time in the history ofthe American banjo, with a flurry of patents and inventions by majormanufacturers.

By 1930, the perfected resonator banjo, which today is known asthe “vintage” banjo, made its appearance and no major improve-ments have been added since. The Paramount Company pioneeredthe resonator and flange, and these ideas were further refined bythe Old Gibson Company, whose rim, tone ring and inlay designshave since been accepted as standard for Bluegrass and Countrymusicians. As the banjo’s popularity waned in the late 1930’s, production was drastically curtailed, and after World War II mostof the construction and aesthetic features of the vintage banjowere altered or discontinued.

Bluegrass music had become extremely popular by the mid-nineteenseventies, and musicians who wanted to duplicate the old sound hadto compete for the few vintage instruments that were left. As a result,the prices of vintage banjos skyrocketed, and those who couldn’tafford one had little else to choose from.

Saga was the first manufacturer in the world to re-introduce the vintage banjo, and faithfully duplicate every detail of its constructionand ornamentation. The same 3-ply rim construction was used, andthe exact alloy formula for the tone ring was utilized. All this wasachieved at a price much lower than any comparable new banjo, andat a fraction of the price of an old vintage banjo.

Today, the serious banjo player can recapture the old sound of avintage banjo in a new Gold Star banjo. Every detail of ornamen-tation and every nuance of tone that characterizes the world’sfinest banjo is available now at a remarkably low price in GoldStar banjos — the world’s best value in banjos and the choice ofthe professional!

Gold Star BanjosMaking history, played by legends!

Most banjo players agree that the ideal Bluegrass banjo was theflathead built in very limited quantities during the 1930’s. EarlScruggs, Sonny Osborne, and J.D. Crowe have all owned thesemodels valued in excess of $10,000. Gold Star is a replica of thedesign and captures the sound of these classic banjos at a pricewithin the reach of any serious banjo player.

Extensive metallurgical research in the laboratories of theUniversity of California has resulted in the copper-rich bellbronze alloy used in the tone ring of the GF-100 Series. Eachtone ring is cast, machined, and plated, then carefully hand fitted. The rim itself is made of three overlapping plys of rockmaple, routed to the exact configuration used in the nineteenthirties flatheads — the only construction that can duplicate theold sound.

Available in three models, distinguished by their inlay patterns,every Gold Star flathead has the utmost in volume and cuttingpower combined with every nuance and shading of tone. Fortoday’s professional banjo player, there is no other choice but aGold Star!

In the late 1970’s Saga Musical Instruments made banjo historywith the introduction of the Gold Star Banjo. These instrumentswere the first production banjos since the 1930’s to be manufac-tured with the lethal combination of a three-ply maple rim, asingle piece flange and the copper rich PreWar tone ring alloy!As a result, Gold Star banjos became collector’s items for thecurrent crop of pickers during the 1980’s and 1990’s and are stillthe object of many a collector’s desire.

In keeping with the Gold Star tradition and after many years ofdesign development, Saga introduces the first Gold Star banjore-issue! The new GF-85 easily lives up to its reputation for abanjo which sound quality and value far exceeds anything twicethe price. Produced with the same attention to detail as theoriginal models and under the watchful eye of our skilled makers, these reissue Gold Stars come from an almost cleanslate and are made the old-fashioned way, replicating 30’s erabanjos with a few modern touches like a geared 5th. Just onelook and you will know that the GF-85 is every bit a Gold Starand carries on the name proudly.

Saga BanjosLegendary banjos for the legendary musician!

The Saga Style III Banjo features a rim design inspired by theinstruments of William Lange in the early 1900s and the banjosproduced by the Ode Banjo Company in the 1960s. Saga introduced this unique flathead design in the late 1970s, incor-porating a cast hard-alloy rim with an integral, buttressed tonering. The result is an amazing clarity of tone in all registers aswell as the quick attack and rapid decay that pickers expect inaprofessional quality flathead banjo. The P-11 heavy-duty,grooved, tension hoop is machined from solid brass, polished,and triple nickel-plated. This design has stood the test of time,having been first used on the Mastertone Banjos of the GibsonMandolin Guitar Company of Kalamazoo, Michigan. The SagaStyle III Banjo was designed for the advanced student or professional.

The Saga Old Time Banjos are reminiscent of the classic banjosproduced by S.S. Stewart in Philadelphia over one hundredyears ago. Saga has incorporated a slightly heavier maple rimwith a rolled brass tone ring to produce an instrument retainingthe traditional look and feel of banjos produced in that GoldenAge. In the last century, banjos were parlor instruments strungwith gut. The heavier rim design along with planetary pegs anda geared fifth peg were added to compensate for the increasedtension and torque of modern steel strings. These banjos are certain to become universal favorites.

ROSIN

BIRCH’S AB ROSINIn the late 19th C., Miss Amy Birch perfected rosin for her own use.It was “kind to the bow”, unaffected by extremes of temperature orhumidity and because of its non-clogging characteristics, helpedto produce volume and purity of tone. First marketed in 1896, itwas immediately endorsed by her professional colleagues in theCovent Garden Orchestra.

Violin: VP-04V (Dark) Cello: VP-04C (Dark)

CREMONA ROSINOur least expensive student rosin. Small clear cake in a cardboardC-channel. Boxed.

Violin: VP-08 (Light)

The importance of good rosin cannot be over-emphasized.Rosin, a sticky processed tree sap, increases the friction betweenthe bow hair and the string. Good rosin increases the player’scontrol over tone, articulation and response.

In general, clear or light rosins tend to be harder and less stickythan darker rosins. They usually work best in warm, humid climates. Darker, softer rosins are often preferred in cooler, drierclimates. Some rosins are weather-coded.

Student-grade rosins are typically packaged in a “C-channel” forease of use. Better rosins, which are usually cloth-wrapped andmay or may not come in a box, tend to have a finer particle size.Smaller particles “dust” more, reducing clogging of the hair andincreasing its useful life.

While price is usually a good clue to quality, player preferenceis the ultimate arbiter.

HILL ROSINExtremely popular with professionals, teachers, and advancedstudents, Hill makes two of the finest violin rosins available.20gm cake on nylon cloth with elastic loop.

Violin: VP-02D (Dark) Violin: VP-02L (Light)

SHERMAN’S ROSINSherman’s rosin has been a favorite with beginning string teachers in the US for decades. The rosin is packaged in a woodC-channel with a removable cardboard lid.

Since 1980 the Shubb capo has set the standard against which allothers must be measured. It is the first choice… often the onlychoice… of more than a million musicians worldwide.

What makes the Shubb capo so special? For one thing, its ingeniousdesign: a patented locking action which provides an unrivaledcombination of power, speed, accuracy and ease of use. Onesmooth flip of the lever locks it securely in place… and removesit just as quickly.

And the Shubb capo doesn’t create tuning problems. Its soft,resilient rubber is specially designed to work just like a fingertip,so it doesn’t bend the strings over the frets. Its closing action isjust like your hand, so it doesn’t pull the string off center. As aresult, no re-tuning is necessary!

Shubb capos are available in deluxe stainless steel, black chrome,brass, and nickel-plated finishes with dual lever and spring-loaded thumbscrew tension adjustment system. All contactpoints with strings and neck are cushioned by thick, resilientpads. They are built to last a lifetime! Handmade in the US.
