Semarang - Iringan musik keroncong yang rancak bercampur indahnya musik orkestra terdengar riuh di Auditorium Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES), Selasa (29/1/2013). Musik yang dibawakan oleh 348 mahasiswa UNNES tersebut dicatat Museum Rekor Dunia Indonesia (MURI) sebagai rekor baru.

Menajer MURI, Sri Widayati mengatakan, acara yang diselenggarakan Fakultas Bahasa dan Sastra dalam rangka dies natalies ke-48 itu layak mendapatkan gelar pemecah rekor dengan pemain Congkestra (Keroncong Orkestra) terbanyak. Bahkan ia menambahkan 348 mahasiswa tersebut telah memecahkan rekor dunia.

"Ini merupakan satu rekor yang belum pernah ada sebelumnya. Tidak hanya MURI, rekor ini juga telah memecahkan rekor dunia," kata Sri di Auditorium UNNES, Gunungpati, Semarang, Selasa (29/1/2013).

Pemecahan rekor tersebut tercatat di MURI sebagai rekor yang ke-5795. Sebelumnya, UNNES sudah beberapa kali memecahkan rekor MURI di antaranya pembuatan logo PMI dari botol kaca dan tutup botol, pembuatan peta nusantara dari SIM card, dan replika wajah Kartini dari rangkaian batok kelapa.

"Ada lagi replika Tugu Muda dari rangkaian sampah, replika Punokawan dari uang logam," tandas Sri.

Dalam pertunjukan itu, anggota orkestra menyatukan dua aliran musik. Mereka membawakan tiga lagu yaitu Keroncong Tanah Airku, Langgam UNNES Konservasi, dan Gambang Semarang. Pada lagu terakhir, mereka berkolaborasi dengan 48 penari.

Eko Raharjo, Sekretaris Jurusan Pendidikan Seni Musik UNNES mengatakan, pihaknya yakin dengan kemampuan para mahasiswanya sehingga ia menyanggupi syarat dari MURI yaitu peserta lebih dari 250 orang. "Efektif latihannya cuma dua minggu. Tidak ada kesulitan karena mereka semua anak musik," kata Eko.

Ia menambahkan, ide tersebut muncul karena ia ingin menunjukkan jenis musik baru yaitu Congkestra. "Selama ini sudah ada Congdut dan Congrock. Oleh karena itu saya ingin menggabungkan keroncong dan orkestra yang selama ini terpisah," tandasnya.

Setelah sekitar 20 menit pertunjukan, kolaborasi alat musik celo, gendang, flute dan lainnya itu selesai dan mendapatkan aplaus yang meriah. Baik pemusik maupun penonton terlihat terhibur dengan atraksi tersebut.

Guitar the 2347 is a duplicate of the 2351 are very similar to the Gibson Les Paul models, and model 2348 is an almost perfect duplicate of the model of non-reverse Gibson Firebird. Copy the successful model variant created by Ibanez guitars so well is almost comparable to the original model, and this makes gibson guitar company Ibanez company to sue for copyright infringement in 1977. But strangely, the lawsuit was not directed at the design agency of Ibanez design similar to Gibson, but devoted to the design of the Ibanez headstock and then resolved in court in 1978. This is spurring companies to introduce ibanes guitar Ibanez's design itself.

Ibanez Rg Series

Some of the design is "the destroyer", the design of this model is similar to the design of Gibson exlporer with additional forms and Ibanez's classic pointed headstock. Model "the artist" uses a more traditional shape with two short cutaways of equal size and changes in the headstock to avoid copyright issues.

Model "The Iceman" and the model of "the artist" is still in Ibanez's lineup until 2008.

The main line of "superstrat" is modeled on Ibanez 'RG'. This guitar was first introduced in 1985 and then put together by "the saber" with the same shape, but with a less pointed horns, and a very thin body, probably the thinnest guitar ever produced. In the late 1980s Ibanez collaborated with talented guitarist Steve Vai who had previously joined Whitesnake, David Lee Roth's solo band, and his own Solo. Steve Vai has lost his favorite custom guitars "Charvel Guitar" stolen. So he needed a new guitar. Steve Vai and Ibanez managed superstrat design with 24 frets, the aforementioned pickup configuration and a grab handle on the body known by Vai as the Monkey Grip. He also designed and ibanez guitar with 7 strings called "The Universe".

FENDER GUITAR

FIRST TIME

Leo Fender

One of the company's most popular guitar maker and also contributed a very influential in modern music is the Fender guitar. With the solid body electric guitars, basses and amplifiers, Fender helping smaller bands to be heard on a bigger stage than using acoustic instruments. With a revolutionary guitar, Fender also gives more flavor in the world of music and influenced many genres of music including rock, jazz, blues and others.

Leo Fender, who is the inventor of the Fender guitars, making the solid body guitars first time in 1951 and was named "Broadcaster". Its name was later replaced by "Tele Telecaster" and a Spanish-style solid-body guitar that was first in mass production.

else in the history of guitar history occurred in the same year when Fender introduced the "precision bass". "Precision bass" is different from the usual bass guitar in time for "precision bass" has a function that is portable, you can play it like a guitar, and they could be amplified. "Double Bass or Upright Bass" that was used very hard to transport, and it is often difficult to hear over the other instruments.

In 1954, Fender came out with the "Stratocaster or Strat". Fender conducted research by asking a professional guitarist and guitar fender staff, then ask "what do you want from a guitar?" So that he can fix Fender "Telecaster". Instead, they ended up creating an upscale model to go along with the "Tele". Some of the main characteristics of the "Strat" is the addition of single coil pickups and a double cutaway body design that allows the guitar to be played in the high tones. One important addition to the "Strat" is a tremolo bridge, which initially serves as a means to divert the strings so as to imitate the sound of the pedal steel guitar. Fender also introduced many other models in the next decade, including Jaguar, Jazzmaster, and Jazz Bass. Fender Twin Reverb amplifier also producing at that time.

Due to the lack of health Leo Fender, Fender was sold to CBS in 1965. Even though Fender continued to grow with the new owners in the next year, the company realized the importance of management who understand music and musicians. This is why Fender hired William Schultz in 1981.

In 1985, CBS decided to sell all media businesses including fenders. A group of investors and staff of Fender bought the company and put William Schultz in positions of leadership. With the exclusion of people who have a passion in the field of guitar as the owner of the company, such as the staff of the company itself, Fender getting better.

In the 1987 Fender Custom Shop is open for the first time, located in Corona, California where they made custom guitars for professional and guitar enthusiasts. Custom Shop is definitely a step up from the fender as they have always understood the importance of providing exactly what the customer wants.

Fender still think to this day and beyond to provide the best Fender guitars can they make to its customers. This is what makes the reason for the Fender is one of the most famous guitars in history. Some of the great guitar players who love their Fender guitars are Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, Eric Johnson, George Harrison, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, John 5, John Lennon, Keith Richards, Pete Townshend, Richie Kotzen, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Yngwie Malmsteen.
