In the early days of long-playing records. a man in a suit at EMI realised that the Grieg and Schumann concertos were half an hour long, in the same key of A minor and would fit on either side of a plate of shellac without requiring fillers. The logic was that Grieg’s splashy audience appeal would offset Schumann’s morose introspection and listeners could flip the record according to mood. Be that as it may, from that day on, the two concertos were as inseparable on record as Cav and Pag were on the opera stage.

Of the many weird guitars from the 1960s, the Italians are my favorites. EKO, Vox, Crucianelli, Wandre, and Gemeli... it’s hard to keep up. The Welson company, like its Italian neighbor EKO, produced guitars under many names and even made a few models for Vox and Wurlitzer. Welson was founded in the 1920s, in the city of Castelfidardo, by Orlando Quagliardi. The company made accordions but switched to manufacturing electric guitars as demand for the instrument increased in the ’60s.
