The Haul: September 12th - September 18th, 2011

Thanks,
I never completely mastered my 6 string guitar or 5 string banjo, hoping 4 strings comes easily.
Did my research, you can get some sweet sounds out of these modern Uke's

 

And therein lies the reason I play bass - only 4 strings, 1 note at a time!

I just acquired this 1947 Milord today and it took very little cleaning and no buffing to get to this point. Ready to go.

 

Here's a very nice #19 -- the gold plated version of the esteemed British rhodium plated #15. Never had one with its shipper box.

Hard to get a decent shot of that gold plating, but it is still pretty decent -- and the razor has a very good weight to it.


Amazing to still be able to find these 63-year old razors in such pristine condition.

 

Love the swirl on the handle. Simply excellent!

 

I like the comb. Its a lot more like a NEW than a Sheraton but the exposed hinges are all Sheraton.

The variation they used is pretty extensive. Almost every blend of concepts can be seen throughout their progression up to the plastic crap.

Congrats on another beauty Jake!

 

Ukulele's are fun. Chord patterns are the same as the bottom 4 strings of a 6 string. But 3 steps up. ie. a d chord on 6 string, would be a g on ukulele. The Oscar concert scale is a nice place to start, but Warning, warning, Ukulele AD can set in. Check out Lyle Ritz for some great jazz done on a Uke.

 

Hark! 'Tis the voice of an Enabler! Pay heed!! :biggrin:

 

Don't Get Around Much Anymore. Ukulele. Parker Coleman ala Lyle Ritz

 

That was fun! Never really paid much attention to the ukulele. Sounded nice.

 

Uke music, got to throw this one in too.
Thread Hijacking is fun:biggrin:

Holy crap. Both of those are pretty cool as far as the Uke goes but the dude playing My Guitar Gently Weeps was just insane. Hugely enjoyable.

 

NICE!

 

Well, since I hijacked this thread, I better get it back on track.

Let's try a vintage SuperSpeed in a Case.

 

This Cooper razor is identified in Wait's Compendium as being patented in 1932 so it would have been made in the early 1930s. It seems to have some considerable wear on it. This was after cleaning off all the grime and dirt on it.
