Chord Master Update

We first posted about Chordmaster.org, a site dedicated to Maccaferri and other vintage plastic ukes back in 2010. Just checked out the site again and WOW!...

The site now includes scanned product booklets and ads, a huge gallery of vintage photos (some NSFW), and detailed repair tips. Just go now. It's amazing. Link

This line alone was worth the look. It cracked me up. "Virtue. According to Plato (The Republic, III, 398e-399d) and Aristotle (Politics, VIII, 1340a-1340b), some musical modes can twist and distort the soul. Hence, Mixolydian would make young men effeminate and Ionian would promote sloth and drunkenness. With its strict prohibition of any minor chords, the Chord Master provides a beneficial guarantee for the safekeeping of our children's soul."

Weird. Where'd you see that; was it in one of the booklets?

Antoines' site is amazing. He takes plastic ukes EXTREMELY serious. He gives great repair tips too. What is amazing is his site for nose flutes... Ukester Brown
