need a can from the german band about his margin is the perfect accompany meant money for me to behold that striving for my family says they can even tell from downstairs if i'm playing a martin or something else i just viewed. it's an icon of american music history. has a mystique about it and i think that that is rooted in all these decades now of some of the most important artists in so many genres of american for nakheel are music playing martin guitars jack and. jackie. o. i know you the very 1st one i remember play a chord of this guitar and just thinking that this was the holy grail you know this was something to aspire to this market guitar.

the martin is highly respected by musicians and has long enjoyed legendary status for some it's the stradivarius of the guitar family the rolls royce of acoustic instruments its history is unparalleled in the history of guitar making an instrument that's starting in saxony conquered the music world. i think that martin guitars are special because they come from a remarkable tradition of fine instrument making so right from the start you know martin guitars were finely crafted the finest woods you know that kind of thing and i think that's part of what makes the of the month so special for more than

180 years martin guitars has been hand built by generations of the same family using carefully selected words and applying their finally to the craft to produce its understated elegance it was martin that gave the world the flat top acoustic guitar earlier guitars all had rounded bodies and i'm mistaken both sound accompanies its sleek form. sometimes that form is molded by the musicians who play the sting had his martin built with eco friendly wood ed sheeran worked with martin to create his x. signature edition. you know everybody. in the 74 gets to see if i like the sound of the. shape of them and there was this double. and i remember it turning up at

a gig and the focus was there on the treadmill now and i was like all this this one's incredible i'm just going to take it i just know you. take me here. his. gonna need it can also has his own personalized model the martine d $28.00 became his favorite guitar just a few years ago now he doesn't go anywhere without it it's ok it's meant to insure your movies and i had it in the studio with me for the last album in new orleans i wrote the title song from the album with that guitar like most songs since i got it . the story of the martin guitar they spoke to the 19th century in the village of

monaco i kill him in saxony still come to strict that's war in january 17th 96. martin was born into a family that had been in the woodworking business for generations it goes all the way back to my great great great grandfather who fortunately when he decided. to break away from his father's furniture business and dedicate his life to making guitars he chose to make very foreign guitars. but the idea didn't come completely out of the blue. ocean was already a century of musical instrument manufacturer even back then almost everyone in the village worked in the trade. it was a tradition which started in $1677.00 when 12 craftsmen got together to form germany's 1st guild the violin makers they were later joined by craftsmen building

almost every instrument played in a german orchestra. the was going to cure bohemian exiles who'd been forced to leave bohemia on religious grounds who worked as an instrument builders settled here bought the fixes the stock boarded the british cut since the state of saxony allowed them the opportunity to settle here as protestants who. was on the how distant we could go and of course you had the mountains were wood and climactic conditions or buildings such instruments modern falls it's unfair. that the craftsman of mark not ignored one instrument the guitar it would be christiane free to mishmash would one day make one of its instruments world famous but that came much later 1st the talented 15 year old was sent abroad to become an apprentice to the most famous master guitar maker of the time. he had any interest in the violin he went right from furniture

to guitar. so i don't think he just didn't it wasn't something that interested him the guitar by this point by you know the late seventy's early eighty's hundreds that had worked its way up into northern europe had become relatively refined and relatively standardized and it it there was there must have been something about that thing in the guitar that intrigued him enough that he decided to stop working for his father and ultimately having to go to vienna because the violin makers at that time weren't interested in the guitar so they didn't even want to teach him they didn't really probably know how to do it so then he went to vienna as a young man alert under johan style for. christiane freedom is martin remained in the n.f.r. 14 years he met his wife there the daughter of an acclaimed cabinet maker and started a family eventually he decided to return to his native saxony to open a guitar building workshop under his own name. he came home and the violin makers

did not warmly embraced it they saw him as competition they used the argument that when he worked for his father in germany he apprenticed as a cabinet maker and he has that certificate so if he wants to make furniture have that if he wants to make a taurus in germany he has to start in the beginning and go through that wall arduous apprenticeship. the violin makers were prepared to go to great lengths to keep out the competition by then demand was growing for the guitar even cabinet makers in the village had started building them and that was something the guild of violin makers wasn't prepared to accept $826.00 saw the start of what would become a legendary lawsuit. solution to a roué escalated between the violin makers and the guitar builders the cabinet

makers who wanted to build guitars and it ended up in court before 400 and there was a much negotiation and admitted lawyers on both sides had reasonable arguments is kenya is off as is often the case it all hinged on their businesses and maintaining their exclusive right to producing something while stopping others from getting a share of titles and. a legal dispute continued for years without any conclusion martin had hoped to manufacture and sell high quality instruments bearing his name . for us traded and like many germans decided to seek his fortune in the new world in 833 he left mach no occasion together with his wife and children and boarded a ship for new york martins plan to establish himself in america would be a challenge but also a huge opportunity he was to become the country's 1st guitar maker. and

martin believed america was ready for it he saw a market for his new instrument hoping it could soon be as popular as the banjo or the fiddle and he was right with a guitar experiencing its 1st heyday soon after the advantage the guitar the acoustic guitar a particular house it's portable and so here's a country of immigrants yes everyone came into a big city from europe a lot of people said no i don't want to live in these big cities i'm going west or north or south and initially you went by wagon. and you could find room for your conestoga widen for guitar much more easily than a piano and so then at night as you're go way west to ohio or somewhere like that and you build a fire you can pull out the guitar. with his guitar as soon gaining a name far beyond new york martins business quickly flourished. his instruments for

a prize winners at national exhibitions but martin never really felt completely at home in the cold and dirty new york. after visiting another german couple in nazareth pennsylvania he decided to settle there no coincidence with its gently rolling hills the region reminded him of home. the 1st time the only time i went to markers as we drive in what do i see the gentle rolling hills and then as the lithograph over there shows there's the town of market correction built into the side of these gentle rolling hills if you get in a helicopter and you back off of nazareth and you look down it's a town settled by german immigrants built into the side of rolling hills so they

came out here and they found people spoke german they cooked german food when it came to holidays like christmas they celebrated them in a very traditional german way up. the good people. in nazareth martin expanded his business and turned from making individual instruments to cereal production soon he had his own factory built to keep up with demand and he made crucial changes to his instruments up until then there had been one setback associated with classical guitars they were simply too quiet for large auditoriums in concerts they were drowned out by fiddles banjos and the piano so martin said about the placing of the traditional gut with steel strings and made the body of the guitar larger his changes completely revolutionized guitar building nobody had ever braced the guitar quite like that it was unique because it you know

met the needs of the new deal larger style guitar martin was the only company making it to are that size so they had to be inventive and come up with something that would stabilize the instrument as a result of the need to satisfy a demand in the market place their particular construction design and the artists that would end up using it because of became a voice 'd for you know more of the country folk and blues. type of utilization when he died in 873 the father of america's guitar making industry left his family a thriving business and at the turn of the 20th century his grandson frank henry martin went on to write guitar history he was the man behind the 1st 6 string guitar which was a large body against ferment but still relatively light. it was the prototype of

the western guitar and frank henry martin called it that read not in 116 it went into serial production and soon became very popular the idea of calling it a drug not you know comes from one of the older martin's was a history buff and he was really taken with a a battleship that the british had developed. during world war one actually and i think mr martin loved the idea of this big powerful ship and the idea that that it was would crafted to him it seemed like the perfect name for his large body guitar. the dread not to put my 10 guitars on a path to worldwide success and the legendary dean model would become the chosen guitar for the world's most well known musicians. and then came the 1930 s. depression it could have spelled the end for a company like martin but for

a stroke of luck. then you know you have the movie era when the great singing cowboys like gene autry came along and you know there's gene autry riding a horse. astride a horse heroic character and he's got a guitar in his hands and he singing which is you know kind of crazy cowboy singing but for the movies it was a great thing and i think a lot of people sitting in that audience looking at someone like gene autry up on a big screen holding this gorgeous martin guitar it's to you things begin to click i want to play guitar i want to get me one of those guitars like the one the other

the gene autry played or the jimmy rogers play and i think that was the thing that kind of propelled the idea of the martin guitar being something a little special. and again the company began upping output with each and every guitar still being made by hand. the finest ones were used and some instruments were made with mother of pearl inlays. but it wasn't long before another voyles event affected the company. the government came to us and they said so you know we have this war and we're going to need to take ask the majority of the men that you employ to go off and fight so we had women. didn't miss a beat and you saw i think today our shop we have many women partners but for that

period during the war the vast majority of the guitar builders were women we did get out of the business of making archtop guitars because the government came to us and said. we're going to put you on allotments of strategic materials one of which is spruce because we need it for airplane wings and we said ok here are these archtop guitars that take a piece of spruce this big to make one guitar top. if you take a piece of spruce stepping to make flat tops you can make 5 or 6. after the war production was slow to pick up but once more it fell to a musician to help revive the company's fortunes elvis presley. the king of rock and roll had recorded the famous sound sessions with his favorite da teen and it d. 28. and he even had a special leather case made. my eldest had his big pink cadillac when he finally started making money he went out

and bought himself the top of the line finest so there was the cost of the cadillac and there was the guitar the martin guitar that was the top of the line. by now martin was the world's leading producer of acoustic guitars demand had grown so much that by the early 1960 s. there was a waiting list of up to 3 hearings due to limited capacity. martin guitars weren't the exclusive domain of the big stars anyone who played guitar 101 . especially in the sixty's when so many rock n roll groups had a martin front and center acoustic guitar alongside and it influenced so many. young players and then of course a little later you get groups like crosby stills nash and young featuring beautiful

martin guitars and these kinds of things really drove sales and really once that movement was afoot i think the martin guitar of the dreadnought was really well established i mean the beatles played martin dread knots you know and that makes a big difference that keeps things going. but singing in the dead on to. take these broken wings and learn to fly. johnny cash made an interesting comment and we asked him one time we said you know is to cash can you give us a quote for our catalog and he said i feel safe with martin. why don't you come to us and says you've been. variances for so long. willie nelson is

a great example of someone he has one martin guitar. and that's the only guitar you ever see him playing is his one martin guitar he said he said if my guitar stops working i'm going to retire and so far it's still working. great cock is one of america's most famous rests but when he plays acoustic he always picks up his martin especially in the recording studio. to me from the very 1st moments of playing guitar mark was like that in a call of what it was fire the habits of acoustic instrument in the reserves you know i go look at my record collection i'd see neil young with a d. 45 in front of that comes

a time of record certainly all the crosby stills and nash stuff jimmy page joe walsh up to big joe walsh band and the list is a obviously public art with black berry it goes on and on and on and i kind of the . sound of an acoustic instrument you heard a record like you know that's a mark within 2 seconds. it was the era of the singer songwriter and they all played a martin with their back to the land movement and a yearning for simplicity they spearheaded a trend to a more natural approach the martin guitar fit the bill perfectly hands made from wood without the technical bells and whistles. its popularity surged during the 1960 s. much in the 3rd delta bigger factory still making instruments by hand. in 1971 martin produced almost 23000 guitars annually all meeting the high quality standards set 140 years.

in 969 martin started making the 45 seconds he had notices for fort worth and. says i saw one i want to. finish that one. and it sounded spectacular so i went again to lumpers and they had a number of them down i picked the 3 best bottom project. in the 1980 s. difficult times began for the martin company there was more competition than ever before with cheap products flooding the market martin remained true to its roots sticking to handmade manufacture and high quality materials and then there was

a new kid on the block the synthesizer when the disco creation again and people were tinkering with electric pianos that you could get to make all kinds of sounds. are definitely. in the 1990 s. martin developed its 1st backpackers model it was compact with fantastic sound and easy to carry perfect for street musicians like the up and coming young and sharon have a go oh it's ever going. to be all. or use the back pocket for that forcing it to 16 and then i go. to the. one that looks like a small potato so that it was that was that my whole life was stuffed in that case

that was what travelling kit. today the martin company is america's oldest guitar producer and remains a family business in the same generation. in nazareth pennsylvania 500 employees still built guitars by hand for a company that's innovative guitar making become a hallmark of american tradition. i think americans should be very proud of martin martin says guitar company and they make today still the best guitars in the world once it marks the world stand always has been. the martin guitar story well for ever be connected to the name of a german and the grand who hailed from saxony christiane freeze rachel martin the man who turned a small and fragile gut stringed instrument into what it's become today bigger and

louder more a bust more popular there. is nothing better than. just taking it out on the couch maybe not even thinking about it and just picking stuff whatever happens whatever comes out. it's very relaxing and comforting i sleep better at nights knowing that i have this guitar in my house. well. she's a pretty. she wore. this much was one of those rules come sometimes when i've got something else to do something that might be kind of annoying me i just pick up my guitar and play a bit and suddenly everything is ok it just feels like everything's right it feels good of course there's definitely something magical about it it's good sure.

a 2nd republican senator has called on u.s. president donald trump to resign in the wake of wednesday's deadly riots at the capital this comes as democrats say trump must be held accountable for the violence they're preparing a 2nd impeachment despite less than 10 days to go before trump leaves office and joe biden is inaugurated lawmakers are expected to formally introduce the proposal on monday in the house of representatives. quiet after the storm like seems to have returned to normal in washington d.c. off to donald trump supporters stormed the capital on wednesday but the events have left them mock. i was appalled just gusted being very i'm a military veteran and i never thought i'd see this in the u.s. the events of this week have everybody in the city a little bit worried and i've been walking around and seeing still a lot of. supporters hanging around so it makes me a little nervous that there are

a lot of people staying many americans who are still shaken by the images of void nationalists and confederate sympathizers running around the halls of the capitol these images will never be forgotten and people wonder whether this could happen again security has been ramped up for the inauguration even the national guard has been mobilized the whole city is on high alert it's time for the u.s. to move forward the question is in which direction one of them could be impeachment for a 2nd time democratic lawmakers say they could start the proceedings as early as monday charging donald trump with inciting violence more and more republicans are also turning against him while i think the best way for our country truck is for the president to resign and go away as soon as possible. knowledge that may not be

likely but i think that would be best. for regardless of the outcome of the events of the past week will cost a deep shadow over donald trump's remaining days in office. let's get a check now of some of the other stories making news around the world. more than 2 weeks after the refugee camp of the lip of bosnia was destroyed in a fire hundreds of migrants are finally moving into heated tents provided by local authorities stranded migrants had to endure freezing temperature for days before their new camp was set up. several 1000 people have rallied against coronavirus restrictions in the czech capital prague said the closure of restaurants hotels and other businesses has weighed on the economy and triggered a rise in unemployment and poverty the demonstrators called on the government to

lift the restrictions. popular model of has won kyrgyzstan's presidential election by a large majority he reportedly received 79 percent of the vote pato has been the interim president says the collapse of the previous government which was prompted by volume protests last october he's promised and and to corruption in the central asian country which is a close ally of russia. for more i'm joined now by our correspondent emily sure win in moscow to emily you've just come back short time ago from reporting and be scared hello to you so sutter pato if he does appear to have huge lead in the presidential election in kyrgyzstan tell us why he seems to appeal to so many voters. well on the

one hand he is very popular as we've seen now but you would think he would be more of a divisive figure after all he was actually in prison for kidnapping charges charges of kidnapping an official in kyrgyzstan until protesters and his supporters freed him during the recent protests he is considered a nationalist and he's kind of been presenting himself in this campaign as really a man of the people not someone who's part of the political elite he's from the countryside which is where he's also very popular in kyrgyzstan and he's been promising reform and also to kind of get rid of the corruption within politics which in kyrgyzstan has been known for being kind of a battle between different families different clans and political groups so he's promising to to get rid of all that now his critics say he's a thorough tarion but in bishkek a lot of the people i spoke to said that he's just what they want he's someone who

can provide stability and a strong hand right where we should also mention that they're voting the citizens are also voting today not just for president but also on changes to the constitution and these changes would in fact limit the power of parliament on the one hand and boost the powers of the president on the other hand is curious then shifting back to authoritarianism to people just want a strongman. it does seem that they want the strongman particularly after this recent revolution which is one of 3 in the last 15 years the experts that i spoke to and also many activists that i spoke to. say that they're very concerned not only that this referendum can give the president more power perhaps dangerously more power but also about the fact that many of the articles in this new constitution could mean new restrictions on democratic rights like freedom of

speech i spoke to one group of activists who've been taking to the streets every week to protest against these constitutional reforms which they see as the path to dictatorship but on the other hand things change really quickly in kyrgyzstan as i just mentioned those 3 of evolutions and one expert i spoke to said you know if people are unhappy with what happens in this election and in the referendum people will just take to the streets again and we might see another revolution as soon as . a 1000000 sure when thank you very much to spain now where at least 4 people have been killed in the heaviest snowfall seen in the country in decades prime minister pedro sanchez is appealing to people to stay indoors with much of the country at a standstill emergency crews have rescued more than 2000 people from their stranded vehicles. storm filomena brought 60 centimeters of snow to madrid the

most the spanish capital has seen in half a century despite widespread destruction many came out to enjoy the free conditions with mass snowball fights breaking out in the city center raising concerns about social distancing not being maintained. there's been quite a concentration of people and it's a shame because with the pandemic i don't think that is the most prudent thing at the moment but when. there aren't enough shovels and a lot of young people are just throwing snowballs when they could be helping we're lacking leadership from the politicians. the army has been mobilized to lead the clear up with assistance from hundreds of civilian volunteers the focus is on keeping access to hospitals clear as many are due to receive deliveries of covert 19 vaccine the worst of the storm may be over but weather experts are warning people to be aware of bitter cold over the next few days. we must take extreme

precautions and all our daily activity the snow fall and hit the peninsula with unusual force is now being followed by a cold wave with minimum temperatures never reached here before that requires particular caution and patience the government is organizing convoys to carry vaccines and food supplies to areas cut off by the snow fall and the goods mer is warning residents that for much of the next week it will remain difficult to get around. ok german soccer now and match day 15 of the bundesliga has drawn to a close so let's have a look at the final set of results this weekend in sunday's games armenia bielefeld back a surprise win against berlin stood guard thrashed out on saturday shock of a strike hoffenheim their 1st win in 31 bundesliga games live see clause 31 at home
