The always colorful Frank Stallone comes in to Norman's Rare Guitars and plays 2 Stromberg Master 400 guitars. He's so hilarious, and we hope you like this video!

Very cool. The secret to playing a Stromberg is that you have to be very aggressive in how hard you play it. They were designed to be heard in a big band setting so once you start pounding the strings the tone will really start to come out along with the volume. Elmer knew what he was doing and he did it very well !

Tough crowd here. His voice is actually quite nice. Plays guitar OK, he was able to belt out some good tunes on the fly with some fairly complicated chords. The guitar was buzzy and slightly out of tune, not his fault.
@allstopblue57177 жыл бұрын
Joe S I agree. And these guitars are by no means easy to play either. Usually have quite high action by design. If your not used to playing one it can be very different feeling setup compared to most guitars. I thought he played just fine.
@GenosGlory7 жыл бұрын
Joe S yes but really is the guy that plays fault if he plays it live without tuning first. The first guitar maybe needs some adjustments. Action needs to be adjusted.

I love how I have 60 ink spots songs and 57 of the are all played exactly the same! My favorite would be whispering grass! I love how every song has the one guy repeat the verse slowly in the 3rd quarter of the songs cracks me up every time!

That Stromberg 400 is the model that Freddie Green played with Count Basie back in the late 30s/early 40s. Fred Guy also used one around the same time with Duke Ellington as well as Irving Ashby with Lionel Hampton. So, not only is it rare, but it's a very important guitar is the history of music.

what a cool sound. the bridge placement and the waste size create this side of a drum head effect. and its resulting in an open, but less than expected boominess. its tight, but you can slap on it unlike most arch tops. interesting theory for build. you really get to see the value of sound hole placement as well. and its impact on the sound and resonance.

Funny fellow also, this I was aware of from back times I've seen him interviewed (I guess interviewed is the word???), though it was mainly just Frank talking and being funny. Like here though without the Guitar. :) This is Great!!! Thank You Norman and Folks. :)
