1934 Rickenbacker A-25 Frying Pan Hawaiian Steel Guitar w "The Speaker" Amp demo Dreams Of Aloha Fry

Описание: "Dreams of Aloha" Noi Lane 's Hawaiian Orchestra cover by Hawaiian Steel Guitarist Christo Ruppenthal on an original 1934 Rickenbacker A-25 with matching 1934 "The Speaker" amp.

Hawaiian music introduced the resonator guitar to the world through Sol Hoopii's use of a National Tricone prototype in his first sessions for Columbia in 1926. Remarkably it also brought the first recordings of an electric guitar to the world's ears! On February 22 1932 history was made in Victor's Studio B in New York City, both in the Hawaiian music word and in the electric guitar world. These Noi Lane (Noelani "Joseph" Lopez) Hawaiian Orchestra sides from Victor issue V-92(International series) are the first two songs ever recorded for commercial distribution that feature an electrified guitar.

I would assume that an early pre-Rickenbacker "Ro-Pat-In" Frying Pan electric steel guitar similar to my branded A-25 was used for the recording, as there weren't any other choices for instruments like this in the very early 30s.

This is my electric version. An acoustic version of this song is on my forthcoming record "Get Under the Moon" on Hot String Swing Records. Pre-sale Limited Edition LPs and CDs here: https://musicbychristo.com/get-under-...

"Get Under The Moon" is my fourth full length multitrack solo record. It explores 1910s - 1940s Hawaiian, Jazz, Novelty, Ragtime, and Global steel guitar and ukulele repertoire sourced from some of my favorite 78 RPM records.
