THE RK-35 AN OVERVIEW
RECORDING KING WAS ORIGINALLY A HOUSE BRAND IN THE 1930's, KNOWN AS THE GOLDEN AGE FOR MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. TO SET THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT, THE GOLDEN AGE OF MUSIC EMANATED FROM THE MUSICAL EXPLOSION OF THE 1920's. THE ELECTRIC MICROPHONE WAS INVENTED IN 1925, AND THE FIRST TALKING MOVIE THE JAZZ SINGER IN 1927. THE JAZZ ERA, DANCE BANDS, AND HOUSE BANDS OF THE TWENTIES, LEAD TO AND ALONG WITH ADVANCES IN SOUND AND FILM RECORDING TECHNOLOGY TO THE GOLDEN AGE FOR MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, AND THE GOLDEN AGE OF HOLLYWOOD. THIS ERA IS WHERE THE STANDARD OR REFERENCE FOR SOUND, TONE AND CONSTRUCTION METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR THE RECORDING KING RANGE IS DERIVED FROM.

RK 's LUTHIERS HAVE REVIVED THE PAST FOR TODAYS MODERN PLAYERS BUT HAVE DONE SO WITH RESPECT FOR TRADITION AND HISTORY. TODAYS RE ISSUES HAVE THE LOOK FEEL AND SOUND OF THE CLASSIC MODELS OF YESTERYEAR WITH ENHANCEMENTS FOR TODAYS CONTEMPORY PLAYERS.
