    TaylorMade Golf is a subsidiary company of TaylorMade-adidas Golf Company. TaylorMade was founded by Gary Adams in 1979 as a small start-up company (TaylorMade, 2013). Adams had created a single new innovative design, the metalwood. This new metalwood sounded differently and most importantly performed differently. The new design shifted more of the weight to the perimeter, which provided more forgiveness on mishits. The center of gravity was also lowered, which made it easier to launch the ball in the air. Adams, being the son of a professional golfer, wanted his golf clubs to stay true to what golfers perceived as an authentic golf club in looks and feel. Adam’s believed in four principles that his company should follow; provide innovation with authenticity, always be passionate about the game, and pledged to be competitive – to work hard to establish itself and grow (TaylorMade, 2013). Following these principles TaylorMade has become the leading metalwood carrier for professionals on the major golf tours. In 1997, TaylorMade transitioned from an independently owned company to a co-brand of TaylorMade-adidas when adidas Group purchased the company. Following the acquisition, the company shifted its focus to become the leader in drivers amongst its competitors (adidas Group, 2013).…

    • 6 Pages

    The bassoon is a member of the woodwind family which includes the English Horn, oboe, and the contrabassoon. It is distinguished by its long cylindrical body, usually made out of maple, and is held diagonally across the body. Another distinguishing feature is its curved pipe that holds the double reed. The modern day bassoon has a range of three and a half octaves, making it versatile in both bass and tenor registers. The bassoon is often called “the clown of the orchestra”1 due to its nasally tone quality especially when playing staccato passages. However, the bassoon can also produce warm tones which adds to its versatility. To really understand the modern day bassoon, we first need to understand where it came from. The modern day bassoon is the result of many centuries of experimentation and perfecting.…

    Guitar History

    The guitar and instruments similar to the guitar have existed and been popular for five thousand years, with a very high chance of the number being much greater. The modern guitar seems to have evolved from earlier instruments known in ancient central Asia. On very old statues unearthed in the Old Iranian Capital Susa there are carvings of instruments quite similar to the modern guitar we all know. The English word Guitar was originally Spanish, quite possibly from an even earlier Greek word "Kithara". Another prospective origin of the name guitar is a combination of two Indo-European roots: guit-, meaning music, similar to the Sanskrit word sangeet, and –tar a widely attested root meaning chord or string. A third prospect for the word guitar's origin could be that it is a Persian loanword to Iberian Arabic. The Arabic word qitara is a name for various instruments of the lute family the come before the western guitar. The name guitar could have been introduced into Spanish when the moors brought guitars into Iberia in the tenth century. The Spanish vihuela seems to be a bridge between the modern guitar and the ancestral guitar, with lute style tuning and a small guitar shaped body. It is unknown if the vihuela is a traditional form or simply a design that combined features from two different instrumental families. The final evolutionary change of the guitar was the creation of the electric guitar, invented by Anthony Vick of Winton, North Carolina helped by George Beauchamp and Paul Berth, in 1931. However it was Danelectro that first produced electric guitars for the wider public. Danelectro also first used tube amp technology.…
