FJ1200 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Don't know if anyone else saw "How It's Made" on TV last night? Kids were watching it when I got home and featured the Warwick factory making guitars and basses from start to finish. Very interesting to watch. Combination of a lot of CNC and hand-crafting. Except lasted about 3 or 4 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderthumbs Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 (edited) No.....gutted. I really enjoy the simplicity of that programme. I did see the full production of cymbals at the Zildjian factory which was really interesting too, as well as drumsticks being made (can't remember who though). Never realised so much went into "pairing" sticks! Edited February 14, 2008 by Thunderthumbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikefloyd Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 What channel was it on? Might be able to see it again on iplayer or 4OD or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 "after that..." "next..." "and then..." it's a great programme...i've not seen the warwick one (i thought all the footage was shot in canada ??), but they've had some great instrument ones i have seen - carbon fibre cellos, the drumstick one, drumkits as well... i'll keep and eye out for the warwick one. thanks for the heads-up.

E_MaN Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 when where is this programme shown?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRinser Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Good programme, I've downloaded a few of the best ones off emule. Laser eye surgery is a bit grim, also downloaded the amp one, and acoustic guitar one... Gettin' the cello one now. I'm a geek. :| no sign of the bass one on there... It's on one of the discovery channels or something like that? Don't have cable at the mo, but that and Walker Texas Ranger (and a couple of cheeky joints) was a classic mix at the end of a long sainsbury's night shift back at uni.

FJ1200 Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 Think it was Discovery Kids or something. I like it too - great program for (us) kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevbass Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 You can find this if you youtube it, I did bring it up in an old post maybe a year or so a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwardHimself Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I've seen a lot of them and of the musical instruments i've seen the drums, cymbals (random trivia- "zildjian" actually means cymbal in turkish, the company is called avedis but they decided zildjian appealed more to english speakers) electric and acoustic guitars being made. Yeah it's a pretty mint show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
