>> WE TRY TO SHOW WHAT IS IN THE MANUFACTURER AND THE MAKERS.
OVER THE LAST 100 YEARS.
SOME INTERESTING THINGS AS YOU'LL FIND OUT, SOME OF THE FAVORITE INSTRUMENTS ARE IN THE GALLERY THAT START IN THE 1900.
>> Huell: OH HERE--THIS LOOKS LIKE AN OLD BAND HERE.
>> VERY GOOD, THAT IS JOHN PHILIP SUSAN AND THIS POPULAR MUSIC GALLERY SHOWS US THE INFLUENCE THAT THE CEREMONIAL BANDS IN THE 195000--.
>> HE IS UP HERE DIRECTOR.
>> THIS MURAL IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE THOUSANDS OF BANDS THAT WERE AROUND DURING THAT TIME.
>> Huell: LOOK OVER HERE, THIS IS IN ONE ONE OF YOUR EXHIBIT AREA SO WE CAN PUNCH--THAT'S HIS ACTUAL VOICE.
>> THERE ARE ONLY 4 RECORDINGS OF HIS VOICE AND WE HAVE ONE.
I WAS GREATLY HONORED BECAUSE I REALIZE THAT SMFT FINEST BANDS--.
>> ONE OF MY FAVORITE LINES IS THIS ONE.
>> I HOPE YOU ENJOY HEARING ME AGAIN AS I ENJOYED PLAYING FOR YOU.
MAYBE YOU WOULD RECOGNIZE IT.
>> Huell: WOW.
OH MY GOSH!
>> DOESN'T THAT GET YOU GOING.
>> Huell: PHILIP SUSAN'S VOICE, THAT'S A REASON TO COME HERE.
>> YES, WE HAVE PEOPLE MARCHING HERE.
>> Huell: HOW DO YOU TOP THAT.
>> WELL WE TRY TO SHOW THE INNOVATIONS THE INSTRUMENTS THAT BECAME INFLUENTIAL AND SPEAKING OF JOHN PHILIP SUSAN, THAT IS HIS SUSAPHONE.
>> AND WE PUSH THE BUTTON.
NOW OF COURSE A LOST PEOPLE SAY IT SOUNDS LIKE A TUBA, BUT JOHN PHILIP SUSAN CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF WEARING IT.
MAKE THE SAME SOUND.
>> Huell: PLAYER PIANO, WHICH WE CAN PUSH.
WOW.
THIS IS AMAZING.
AND SO EACH ONE OF THESE INSTRUMENTS HERE HAS A SOUND THAT YOU CAN PUSH AND HEAR THE ACTUAL INSTRUMENT PLAYING?
>> THAT WAS OUR HOPE.
>> Huell: YOU'VE GOT OVER HERE, THIS AN ORGAN OR?
>> IT'S A REED ORGAN AND YOU CAN SEE BEHIND IS A EXAMPLE OF THE RETAIL DEVELOPMENT.
>> THERE WERE SEVERAL TYPES.
>> Huell: LOOK AT THIS.
THIS IS--WE'RE MOVING QUICKLY.
>> THIS IS AN IMPORTANT PIECE BECAUSE ATS A HENRY STON WAY AND HE HAS SIGNED THIS PIANO ON THE SIDE.
>> Huell: A SIGNED PIANO.
>> YES WE DO.
>> Huell: NOW WE'RE MOVING INTO SECTION TWO.
>> WHICH HAPPENS TO BE ONE OF MIF FAVORITE AREAS BECAUSE I'M A HUGE JAZZ FAN AND WE FWAUK THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BLUES AND JAZZ.
>> Huell: LET'S HEAR THE BAND.
YEAH.
OH LOOK AT THIS, AND LOOK AT THIS, ALL OF THESE WONDERFUL CASES FILLED WITH INSTRUMENTS.
AND HE'S ARE ALL HISTORIC?
>> UH-HUH AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE RETAIL STORE CHANGED DRAMATICALLY.
I HAVE TO SHOW YOU MY FAVORITE INSTRUMENT OF THE ENTIRE MUSEUM.
>> Huell: SO THIS IS SET UP LIKE A STORE.
>> EXACTLY.
>> WE EVEN HAVE A LISTENING BOOTH SO YOU CAN PRACTICE AN INSTRUMENT OR IN THIS CASE LISTEN TO A RECORD.
>> Huell: SO YOU'VE GONE INSIDE THE BOOTH CLOSED DOOR AND EITHER PRACTICED OR?
>> HERE'S A CYLINDER RECORDING IT PRECEDED THE 78.
>> Huell: FOR ME AND MY GAL.
BOY WHEN YOU COME IN HERE YOU BETTER BE READY TO SEE BUT ALSO HEAR.
YOU'VE GOT TO SHOW ME SOMETHING.
>> YEAH, I THOUGHT YOU WOULD APPRECIATE THIS.
IT'S CALLED THE ROMONICA AND IF YOU REMEMBER THE OLD PLAYER, THE HARMONICA IS SIMILAR TO THIS, YOU STRING THE FRONT OF THE INSTRUMENT AND TAKE IT UP IN THE BACK.
AND THE WHOLE IDEA IS THAT THIS WILL PLAY A TUNE FROM IN PIECE OF PAPER.
>> Huell: ON THE HARMONICA.
>> THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THE PICKUP AND GIVE UP REEL IS ON THE SAME THING.
>> Huell: OBVIOUSLY THAT WAS NOT A BIG SELLER.
>> IT DIDN'T LAST A LONG TIME.
>> Huell: OH MY GOSH, INNOVATIONS 1910 TO 1929.
>> YEAH, PROBABLY THE MOST--THE THING THAT PEOPLE THINK WHEN THEY HEAR THIS DEPRESSION, BUT THE INDUSTRY ENJOYS A LOT OF INNOVATIONS.
>> Huell: WHAT SHOULD WE PUSH HERE.
>> THIS IS THE FAVORITE OF THE GROUP.
>> Huell: WHAT IS THIS.
>> IT'S A THERAMIN INTRODUCED BY A GUY NAMED LEON TTHERAMIN HE CONCOCTED THIS THING THAT IS LIKE EYE BIG BOX.
>> Huell: WHERE IS ONE?
>> WE ACTUALLY HAVE ONE IN THE RESOURCE CENTER.
>> Huell: KEEP THAT ONE OUT OF PUBLIC VIEW.
SOUNDS KIND OF WEIRD TO ME.
>> IT TURNS OUT TO BE THE VERY FIRST SYNTHEZICER.
DO YOU KNOW HOW IT GOT THEIR CLAIM OF FAME, HOLLYWOOD GOT IT FOR THOSE SPOOKY MOVIES.
>> Huell: ALL RIGHT.
THE WE'LL TRY ANYTHING EXHIBIT.
OH MY GOSH!
>> WELL THIS IS THE BIG BAND HERE.
>> Huell: OH LOOK AT THIS.
>> IT'S AN AMAZING IDEA THAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DEPRESSION THERE WAS STILL A BOOM FOR THE MUSIC INDUSTRY BECAUSE OF ALL THOSE.
>> Huell: GREAT INSTRUMENTS.
>> THAT'S THE KING OF SWING.
WE DO HAVE A CELEBRITY INSTRUMENT THAT'S CHUBBY JACKSON FIRST FIVE STRING BASE, HE PLAYED WITH WOODY HERN AN AND THE LIFE.
THAT'S A BEE BOP GROUP, WITH GRAY BROWN ON THE BASE.
>> Huell: LOOK AT THIS.
AND THIS CASE IS PACKED FULL OF RADIOS.
>> AND AGAIN THIS SHOWS THE RETAIL ENVIRONMENT DURING THAT TIME.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ASK US WHY DO YOU HAVE A TOASTER IN THE MUSIC.
>> Huell: WHY DO YOU?
>> IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THIS MURAL OVER HERE WHICH WE'RE PROUD OF, IT REALLY DEPICTS FOR US.
IT JOES THAT THE JEWELRY CASES.
>> Huell: OKAY--.
>> THIS IS AGAIN DURING THE GREAT GRESSION.
SO THERE IS A NEED TO CONTINUE TO HAVE A MONEY FLOW IN THE MUSIC STORE AND THIS IS THE WAY THEY FOUND THEY CAN DO IT.
>> Huell: THIS PICTURE WAS MADE IN ABOUT?
>> 1937, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.
ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL.
>> Huell: YOU CAN SPEND, WELL YOU HOPE WHEN PEOPLE COME IN HERE THEY ARE GOING TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME HERE.
OH OH, HERE'S ELVIS.
ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU ALL ARE IN HERE LISTENING TO WHAT MUSIC.
>> A LITTLE ROCK AND ROLL.
>> Huell: WOW, LOOK AT THIS LOUIE.
THESE ARE THE BEACH BOYS HERE.
WHAT'S THE DEAL ON THIS?
>> WELL HERE SHOWING OF COURSE THAT ERA AFTER ELVIS WHEN THE ROCK HIT AND THE INDUSTRY WENT CRAZY.
WHAT WE SHOW BEHIND YOU IS A REPLICA OF THE BEATLES, IF YOU DON'T MIND LET'S LISTEN TO THE BEATLES.
WE HAVE A CORRELATION BETWEEN THE SALE OF THE INSTRUMENT AND THE PERFORMER WHO PLAYED IT.
THE EXACT MAKE AND MODEL.
>> Huell: THIS IS GREAT.
>> ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL.
WE'RE CROWD OF THIS DISPLAY.
YOU CAN SEE THIS FILM IN THE VINTAGE--.
>> Huell: OH LOOK AT THIS!
THAT'S WONDERFUL.
>> A LOT OF THE TIME GAIN FROM THIS GALLERY IS AN UNDERING BETWEEN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ELECTRIC GUITAR AND A SOLID GUITAR.
IF YOU REMEMBER WHEN PEOPLE LIKE LESS HALL PLAYED THE GUITAR.
BUT THERE IS A LESS PAUL--.
>> Huell: IS THAT ONE OF HIS GUITAR'S.
>> YES, CALLED A JUNIOR MODEL.
DEVELOPED A .
>> Huell: BOY, NOW TECHNICAL MINDED DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO ENJOY THIS.
>> I THINK IT'S FOR EVERYBODY.
IT SHOWS A LOT OF INNOVATIONS FOR PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT EDUCATED BEHIND THE SCENES.
BUT EVERYBODY CAN RELATE TO THE MUSICIANS.
>> Huell: SO YOU'VE MADE IT USER FRIENDLY.
>> YES, THAT WAS CERTAINLY OUR INTENTION.
IN FACT LET ME SHOW YOU HOW WE'VE DONE THAT.
WE'VE PLAYED AN EXAMPLE OF THE MELOTRON WHICH WE GUESS PEOPLE DOEBT DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS.
>> Huell: INTRODUCED IN 1964.
OH SURE A MELOTRON.
>> AND WE HAVE AN EXAMPLE OVER HERE.
>> Huell: LOOK AT THIS, LIEULY.
>> THAT WAS BEATLES FIELDS FOR EVER.
AND THAT WAS ONCE OWNED BY KAREN CARPENTER.
>> Huell: LET'S LISTEN TO THIS FOR JUST C ♪ ♪♪ PUSH ♪♪
