Attention!

Sites and blogs appeared on the Internet that are not our official sites, but use our name. Be careful. Scammers use our name, our email addresses for their mailings, information from our books and our sites. Using our name, they drag people to various magical forums and deceive (give advice and recommendations that can harm, or defraud money for conducting magical rituals, making amulets and teaching magic).

On our sites, we do not provide links to magic forums or to sites of magicians-healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations by phone, we do not have time for this.

Note! We are not engaged in healing and magic, we do not make or sell talismans and amulets. We are not engaged in magic and healing practice at all, we have not offered and do not offer such services.

The only area of ​​our work is correspondence consultations in writing, training through an esoteric club and writing books.

Sometimes people write to us that on some sites they saw information that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander, not true. Throughout our life, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our site, in the materials of the club, we always write that you need to be an honest decent person. For us, an honest name is not an empty phrase.

People who write slander about us are guided by the basest motives - envy, greed, they have black souls. The times have come when defamation pays well. Now many people are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and it is even easier to slander decent people. People who write slander do not understand that they seriously worsen their karma, worsen their fate and the fate of their loved ones. It makes no sense to talk with such people about conscience, about faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, he will never engage in deception, slander, or fraud.

There are a lot of fraudsters, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor, hungry for money. Police and other regulatory agencies have yet to cope with the increasing influx of "Cheating for Profit" madness.

So please be careful!

Etymology

State name " Hawaii"(English Hawaii) comes from largest island Hawaiian Islands - Hawaii Islands. There are several versions about the etymology of the island's name. According to one, the island is named for Hawaiiloa, the Hawaiian mythical character who discovered the island when they were first inhabited. According to another version, the insulonym comes from the name of the legendary ancestral home of the Polynesians Hawaii.

State name spelling controversy

In 1978, when Hawaiian was declared a second language in the Hawaiian Constitution official language, the question arose about the correct spelling of the name of the state. The name of the state constitution in English looks like English. The Constitution of the State of Hawaii, and the name of the state, according to Article XV, Section 1 of the Constitution - Eng. The State of Hawaii. In the English-language versions of the spelling of the name, diacritics were not used, because the previous version of the constitution, drawn up in 1949, did not use okinu(") and macron, used in modern Hawaiian spelling. The exact spelling of the name of the state in Hawaiian is Hawai'i. Hawaii United States Act 1959, which established the state's official status, the federal government recognized official name state English version - Hawaii... All official government documents, job titles, and seals of Hawaii used the traditional spelling of the state name without accents. On the other hand, state parks, the University of Hawaii, and some private companies use accented characters in the state name. At the same time, since the adoption of the US Constitution in 1789, there has not been a single precedent for changing the name of a state. Only in 1780 Massachusetts Constitution officially changed the name of the "Province of Massachusetts Bay" to "Commonwealth of Massachusetts", and in 1819 the United States incorporated the Territory of Arkansaw, which was admitted to the Union as the State of Arkansas in 1836.

Story

The islands were first inhabited by the Polynesians in the 3rd-4th centuries. For Europeans, the islands were discovered by the English captain James Cook in 1778, who called them the Sandwich Islands. Europeans found several states in the Hawaiian Islands, which at the beginning of the 19th century merged into a single Kingdom of Hawaii. The rise of interest in sugarcane production led the United States towards the end of the century to exert greater economic and political influence on the affairs of the archipelago. The local population, faced with infections brought in from the outside, to which it did not have immunity, died out: by the end of the century, about 30 thousand people remained of the 300,000 Polynesian population.

The main industries are sugar and fruit canning.

The glorious ancestors of the small ukulele are considered to be musical European instruments - braginha from the island of Madeira and cavanquinho from Portugal.

What does the name of the guitar - "ukulele" mean? The Hawaiian musical "baby" is called differently - ukulele, ukulele, uke. In translation, the name sounds like "jumping flea" or "a gift that came by itself."

History of the origin of the ukulele

How did this unusual European instrument end up on the exotic Hawaiian Islands? It was like this, in 1879, three comrades from Portugal - Jose do Esprito Santo, Manuel Nunez, Augusta Dias were delivered to the port on the island of Oahu - Honolulu by the capacious ship "Ravenscrag".

It is clear that at first, far from their homeland, men settled in a new place - they were looking for suitable housing and ways to earn money. And they found a suitable "niche" in the music sales market for themselves - they put an instrument on sale to the local population, which was estimated at some 75 cents.

When King David Kalakaua of Hawaii learned about the existence of the ukulele, he immediately included the guitar in the instrumental "staff" of his orchestra. This decision could not but affect the popularity of uke.

The 1915 tour of the Royal Quartet to the Pacific-Panama International Exhibition in San Francisco was especially "loud". Since that glorious time, the small guitar has been directly associated with Hawaiian music.

But, despite the compact size of the ukulele, its unusual sounding, it is not very popular in Russia. The lack of special teaching aids affects. But with a strong desire, you can find useful articles on the Internet that are devoted to a small Hawaiian instrument and playing it.

Types of ukulele

But the growing popularity of the ukulele could not be compared with the "loud" guitar, which "showed" itself in all its glory during the performance of rock and roll. Although there was a place for uke in jazz.

The mass production of the ukulele is made possible by the increased demand for this small instrument with an interesting sound. But the period 1960-80 cannot be called commercially successful - only ten years later the guitar again took a "favorable" position among the variety of stringed instruments.

According to a long-standing tradition, ukuleles are made from the same woods used to make guitars. But today you can find ukulele made of plastic. This option has a lower cost, and its sound is different.

From this common truth it follows that the price level of the Hawaiian "baby" depends on the material from which it will be made. It is clear that laminate planks will cost less than a solid piece of wood from such trees as ash, rosewood, maple, mahogany, agathis, spruce, walnut, acacia.

The shape of the instrument can be different - classic, round, triangular, square or in the shape of an oblong "pineapple". The imagination of the masters simply knows no boundaries, so they tend to experiment. Strings are best used with nylon material - this will make the sound deeper and more interesting.

The Hawaiian miniature instrument has 4 strings (although there are 8-string double-string uke), its most common length is 53 cm.

What ukuleles are:

  • soprano is the most famous and widespread;
  • concert ukulele - an instrument reaching a length of 58 cm;
  • tenor - a guitar that appeared in the heyday of the 20th century. Its length is 66 cm;
  • baritone - a rather large uke, about 76 cm long;
  • bass - modern ukulele, 76 cm.

Ukulele in cinema

Another indicator of the popularity of the ukulele is seen in the movies. For example, the ukulele can be seen in the hands of the main character - Darling (the incomparable Marilyn Monroe) in the film "There are only girls in jazz". In the famous TV series "House Doctor" - the gloomy Gregory also plays on the "baby".

But in the literature there is also a noticeable trace of uke - in the unforgettable work of I. Ilf and E. Petrov, the novel of the famous foreign writer Jack London - "Valley of the Moon".
