Historical American Space Initiatives in July By: Kameron Iriarte Intern at MOA Museum of the Albemarle Since the month of July is here, we are celebrating our history. July is a month with many historical moments in American history; specifically, many notable space events. Many people are familiar with Neil Armstrong being the first man to step on the moon on July 20th, 1969. However, July 20th was the day of another American space initiative: the Viking 1 landing. The Viking 1 spacecraft was created by NASA and consisted of an orbiter and a lander. The spacecraft launched to Mars on August 20th, 1975, and successfully landed on July 20th, 1976. After the Viking 1 landed, it became the first spacecraft to successfully land on Mars. After landing, the goal was to find signs of life on Mars. The Viking 1 employed the use of an orbiter and a lander to take high-resolution images detailing the surface and atmosphere of the planet. The imaging system of the lander provided massive 300-degree images that showed the surrounding environment. Interestingly, the imaging system of the lander was not the only notable tool. Among the lander’s arsenal of tools was a robotic arm. On July 28th, 1976, the Viking 1 lander made history again by using its robotic arm to perform the first soil samples on Mars. After the Viking 1 mission was completed, the orbiter and lander continued to serve NASA until 1980 and 1982, respectively. By remaining active long past the 90-day life expectancy, the Viking 1 spacecraft allowed scientists to collect further data on Mars. If you are interested about space, be sure to visit some of the space programs this July at the Museum of the Albemarle!

Guitar Tech Talk Fret Dressing (Do not try this at home) As I mentioned before, just like cars need tune-ups and tender loving care so does your guitar. Although there are many things you can do yourself as far as your car goes, there are many more things you need a trained professional to fix on your guitar. One of those many things is a fret dress. An uneven fret or frets, can affect the way you play whether it’s an acoustic or electric guitar. All frets have to be even, to where they follow the contour of the fret board, so as you move down the neck you don’t get buzzing from the string or strings. In order to remedy fret buzz, Frets all have to be planed evenly. This makes the journey up the fret board sound better without encountering that annoying dead note. The process in which I do this is referred to as planing the Frets. The purpose? It allows you to achieve a lower playing action, meaning its more comfortable to play the guitar and eliminates dead notes and buzzing strings. So, having the Frets dressed, can dramatically change the way a guitar plays, for the better. In order to perform a Fret Dress, I will take a tool that’s designed for this particular purpose and file the frets uniformly to take down any high frets to the same level. But it’s not just willy-nilly filing. We have to do what’s called fall off. This means filing the 14th and beyond frets at a very slight angle towards the body of the guitar. You get a “falling off” look at the tongue of the fret board. you would like for someone to care for you. If properly maintained, your Grandchildren’s, grandchildren will get to enjoy your instrument. So, until next time, play well, play hard, and Play often!!!!!

Burroughs First and foremost, I protect the guitar by putting a protective cover over the body and then tape up the fret board exposing only the frets. I then begin to mark each fret with a sharpie for a reference point while sanding. I need to know when enough sanding has been done. There is a lot to it, and covering it in this article would take up 3 full pages. My goal is to inform people that there are ways to make a guitar play better. Sometimes a basic setup will do the trick. Other times, it will not. Feel free to stop by the shop for more info, or to just say hello. Fret Dressing is one of many things, as a Luthier, that I can perform. Your guitar is as unique as you are, and it should be cared for in the same manner as Ask us about Proximity Marketing Call Scott 252-312-2302 Bailey Krivanec PHOTOGRAPHY 252-312-2047 facebook.com/krivanecphotography instagram.com/baileykrivanecphotography 252.793.9979 Bailey Krivanec PHOTOGRAPHY Mary Barnes, Broker/Owner - Cell 252.809.3690 Call for a Buyer's Information guide PO Box 803 Plymouth, NC 27962 http://riverfront-realty.com riverfrontrealty@mchsi.com facebook.com/AlbemarleTradingPost Albemarle Tradewinds July 2019 21
