The List of the Strongest Tornadoes Ever Recorded: Part IV
Posted on November 27, 2012 by ExtremePlanet
The Hudsonville, Michigan, tornado of 1956 is not included in the "strongest tornadoes" list because it occurred before the development of the Fujita Scale. Photographic evidence, however, indicates that the F5 tornado caused some of the most intense wind damage ever documented. Large homes were reduced to bare slabs, vegetation was scoured completely from the ground and vehicles were thrown long distances and mangled beyond recognition. A detailed image gallery of the tornado's destruction, including full color photographs, can be found here.
□ For a tornado to be considered for categorization, it must have caused at least one fatality and occurred after 1970. Damage intensity and, to a lesser extent, wind duration are the only variables considered, without regard to total path length, width or monetary loss. Objectivity is attempted through the use of damage photographs and reliable survey reports.
While far from definitive, this list is the result of hundreds of hours of research, e-mails across the country and conversations with other storm chasers. I believe it is as accurate a list as is available. It is flexible and always open to change.
The indefinitive list of the strongest tornadoes ever recorded:
1. Jarrell, Texas – May 27, 1997
2. Smithville, Mississippi – April 27, 2011
3. Kemper County (Philadelphia), Mississippi – April 27, 2011
4. Bridge Creek, Oklahoma – May 3, 1999
5. Bakersfield Valley, Texas – June 1, 1990
6. Phil Campbell, Alabama – April 27, 2011
7. El Reno, Oklahoma – May 24th, 2011
8. Smithfield, Alabama – April 4, 1977
9. Brandenburg, Kentucky – April 3, 1974
10. Andover, Kansas – April 26, 1991
11. New Hartford (Parkersburg), Iowa – May 25, 2008
12. Joplin, Missouri – May 22, 2011
13. Guin, Alabama – April 3, 1974
14. Moore, Oklahoma – May 20, 2013
15. Mulhall, Oklahoma – May 3, 1999
16. Wheatland, Pennsylvania – May 31, 1985
17. Rainsville, Alabama – April 27, 2011
18. Barneveld, Wisconsin – June 8, 1984
19. Will County (Plainfield), Illinois – August 28, 1990
20. Xenia, Ohio – April 3, 1974
Vegetation damage is a fairly reliable method of comparing one tornado to another. The above pictures show damage to pine trees (with relative intensity increasing from left to right). At left, damage from the Phil Campbell tornado. At center, a streak of extreme damage following the Rainsville tornado. At right, a pine forest scoured to the ground in Smithville, Mississippi.
The Xenia tornado was at peak intensity and entering Windsor Park when a high school student took the only known film of the storm from his home on Ridgebury Drive.
□ On the afternoon of April 3rd, 1974, a violent supercell thunderstorm passed to the south of Dayton, Ohio. At 4:30pm, one of the most well-known tornadoes in United States history touched down just east of Sugarcreek Reserve, nine miles southwest of the city of Xenia. The storm began its life as a series of transient funnels rotating beneath a violent mesocyclone. Over the course of ten minutes, the multi-vortex tornado solidified and gained strength. By the time it reached the western edge of Xenia, winds in the storm had reached F5 intensity.
The newly developed community of Windsor Park, which straddled the west side of the US 35, took the full brunt of the powerful tornado as it entered the city. Entire rows of small, brick homes were swept completely away as the tornado ripped through the neighborhood at 50mph. Nine fatalities occurred in six houses that were obliterated near the intersection of Roxbury Drive and Gayhart Court. The deaths included three teenagers, a pregnant woman and a mother and her young son (I Dream of Genealogy, 2012). An aerial damage survey later documented a trail of clean foundations all the way to the US-35. Extreme damage continued as the tornado roared past an elementary school, obliterating homes in the Arrowhead subdivision. Structural damage in the area indicated that the tornado had weakened slightly, with the last instances of clear F5 damage occurring on Wigwam Trail, where two people died.
Downtown Xenia was struck by the tornado just before 4:45pm. Businesses and homes in the densely populated center of town were severely damaged, leading to more than a dozen fatalities, including five deaths at an A&W Root Beer stand. In total, 30 people were killed in Xenia, and monetary losses totaled more than 100 million dollars. Three miles outside Xenia, the tornado caused its final two fatalities as it roared through the town of Wilberforce.
An extensive search and rescue operation uncovered a total of 32 victims. Two more were killed in a fire during clean up operations, leading most sources to cite 34 fatalities for the event. In the weeks following the storm, extensive media coverage descended upon Xenia, which suffered the most damage of any city during the Super Outbreak. Due to the incredible destruction, the Xenia tornado was deemed "the strongest" of the outbreak, a belief that was furthered when it became one of six tornadoes awarded an F5 rating. In reality, damage throughout most of the city was in the F3 range. The number of empty foundations in Windsor Park was impressive, but the houses were small and likely of only moderate construction. The shear breadth and consistency of the damage in western Xenia, however, solidified the storm's place as one of the most impressive of the 20th century.

The Will County tornado remains the only F5 ever documented in the month of August. Despite tearing through a populated area, no photographs exist of the tornado as it was completely wrapped in heavy rain. Several videographers, however, captured the rotating supercell that spawned the tornado. (Top image by Steve Longmire – used with permission)
□ On a stormy August afternoon in 1990, an unusual off-season tornado touched down in a farm field to the west of Chicago. The funnel was imbedded within a violent high-precipitation thunderstorm that was traveling southeast towards populated sections of Will County. Heavy rain surrounding the tornado made it indiscernible to those in its path. Conventional weather radar failed to identify a hook echo, so no tornado warning was issued. The sirens across the area remained silent.
As the tornado approached the US 30, one mile to the west of Plainfield, the inner core of the storm rapidly intensified and narrowed to only 10 yards in width. Thick clouds of dirt and vegetation were ripped from the ground as the narrow vortex crossed the highway, hurling four vehicles into the air. A tractor hauling a metal storage trailer was impacted directly by the column of F5 winds. The tractor was thrown 100 yards into a cornfield in one throw, killing the driver. The 20-ton trailer was torn from the tractor and centrifuged around the center of the storm, bouncing several times before landing a quarter mile from the road. Another car was lifted into the tornado by violent inflow winds and whirled a half mile through the air without impacting the ground. The driver of the car, who had been wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the vehicle and found dead later that evening (Fujita, 1993). In total, four motorists were killed in vehicles on the US 30, all of them caught unexpectedly while driving on a rainy day.
Before entering Plainfield, the core of the storm expanded to 70 yards in width and weakened slightly. Well-constructed homes on the southern edge of town were leveled, and a large metal dumpster was wrapped around the top of a partially debarked tree. The Plainfield High School was directly impacted by the rain wrapped tornado as it crossed Commercial Street, causing three fatalities. Aerial imagery revealed that the tornado left a pronounced streak of damage as it continued to the southeast at 45mph. Large homes in Lily Cache and Crystal Lawns were splintered in F4 fashion, leading to seven additional fatalities.
Near the end of its life, the tornado struck the Crest Hill Lake Apartments. Nine residents died when the top two stories of an apartment building were obliterated. Some of the bodies were hurled more than 100 yards into a cornfield east of the apartments. One boy, who was the sole survivor of a family of four, later told a reporter "I was looking out the window at my brother who was coming home from football practice, and I thought, 'Man, it's getting dark.' Then — boom! — I was out in a cornfield" (Grimm, 2010).
Professor Fujita conducted an aerial damage survey the day after the tornado and selected an F5 rating due to the severity of the vegetation damage around the US 30, which he described as being "comparable to the worst I have ever seen." According to Fujita, "The damage in the cornfield southeast of US 30 was entirely different from the damage adjacent to structures affected by the F3 or F4 winds…In the worst damage area, corn crops were blown away entirely, leaving behind the remnants of small roots connected to the underground root system" (Fujita, 1993). Twenty nine lives were lost in Will County, and more than 200 homes were obliterated.

The Barneveld tornado rapidly intensified as it passed directly through the center of the small town, leveling businesses and homes along Main Street. Winds in the tornado reached F5 intensity on the eastern side of town (just out of frame to the right). More than a third of the town's population was killed or injured in the tornado. (Courtesy of the Wisconsin State Collection)
□ In the midst of a nighttime lightning storm on June 8th, 1984, residents of Barneveld were awoken by an electrical surge that sent fire alarms and appliances into a beeping frenzy. Moments later, the power across the tiny town flickered and went out. As people prepared to fall back asleep, a sound like "dry and distant thunder" was heard off to the west. The barely audible rumble soon became a deafening roar, awakening even the heaviest sleepers, some of whom suspected they were in the path of a crashing jumbo jet. A massive surge of wind driven debris followed, and soon a third of the town lay in ruins.
The deadly tornado followed Main Street directly through the center of Barneveld, splintering businesses and homes within its 300 yard wide path of destruction. Aerial damage photographs indicate that the tornado was intensifying as it passed through town. On the northeast edge of Barneveld, a cluster of homes on Swiss Lane was swept completely away. Seven of the tornado's nine fatalities occurred in four adjacent homes in this area. The deaths included a couple and their eight year old daughter who were found 200 yards from their obliterated home. The only surviving member of the family, a one year old boy, was left paralyzed from the waist down (Brueck, Woodard, 2009). Trees near the empty foundations were debarked, and vehicles from the neighborhood were hurled long distances and rendered unrecognizable. Additionally, a large and well-constructed brick church was leveled and partially swept away.
A survey team headed by Prof. Fujita awarded the tornado an F5 rating due to the damage on Swiss Lane. The devastation and high concentration of fatalities in the area was indicative of exceptional intensity. Considering the unusual hour that the storm struck, it is remarkable the death toll was not higher. Many of the survivors credited their survival to the power surge, which preceded the tornado by several minutes.

17. Rainsville, Alabama – April 27th, 2011

□ The Rainsville tornado left an unusual swath of destruction through northeastern Alabama during the 2011 Super Outbreak. The intensity of the damage varied tremendously in affected areas of DeKalb County. In some instances, seemingly undamaged trees stood less than 100ft from well-constructed homes that were swept completely away from their foundations. Along the tornado's 34 mile streak of devastation, 25 people were killed and more than 100 frame homes were obliterated.
The tornado touched down east of Fyffe and travelled roughly parallel to Highway 75 at a forward speed of 60mph. Video evidence suggests that the tornado had a complex multiple vortex structure. The first fatalities occurred as the tornado crossed Main Street, devastating homes and businesses in eastern Rainsville. A school bus parked at the DeKalb County School Coliseum was thrown 100 yards and stripped to its metal chassis.
The tornado rapidly intensified north of Main Street and reached peak intensity as it swept over Lingerfelt Road, where several well-constructed homes vanished. Some of the most intense tornado damage ever documented occurred at 1608 Lingerfelt Road, where a two-story brick home was swept completely away. An NWS survey found that an 800lb anchored safe had been ripped from the home's foundation and thrown 200 yards to the northeast. The door to the safe, which had been closed, was torn open and completely off. A large concrete porch weighing thousands of pounds was shattered and blown away from the destroyed home. Additionally, sections of pavement were ripped from the residence's driveway, and the home owner's truck was rendered completely unrecognizable after being thrown more than 250 yards (NWS, 2011). The damage to this single property is the reason for the inclusion of the Rainsville tornado in the list of the strongest tornadoes ever recorded.
Incredible damage also occurred at several nearby properties. Large stone pillars were ripped from the ground at one home, and a section of slab foundation was uprooted at another. Damage patterns suggest that the EF5 damage was caused by extremely powerful suction vortices that made brief contact with the ground, leading to the erratic nature of the destruction. Grass scouring and pock marks from high speed debris were also photographed near Lingerfelt Road and areas to the north, further evidence of the tornado's awesome power.
More images detailing EF5 damage on Lingerfelt Road can be found here.

View of 1608 Lingerfelt Road, where an NWS survey team documented some of the most intense tornado damage ever recorded. The owners of the large, two-story brick home survived with several neighbors in an underground storm shelter. The tornado breeched the top of the storm cave, partially exposing the people huddled inside. An interesting feature of the damage was the sharp boundary (marked by scoured grass) separating the EF5 damage from standing trees a short distance to the east. Trees immediately south of the home were blown over but not debarked, whereas vegetation across the street was stripped bare. Visible grass and pavement scouring a few yards north of the home hints at the presence of a powerful wind feature that descended from the tornado and made contact with the ground after passing over the foundation.

16. Niles, Ohio and Wheatland, Pennsylvania – May 31, 1985
Mike Zahurak photographed the tornado from the Village Center Shopping Plaza as it crossed over Lantern Lane at F5 intensity. An excellent website with information on the tornado can be found here.
□ In the summer of 1985, an unprecedented outbreak of long-tracked tornadoes swept through eastern Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Ontario. The event was notable not only for the incredible intensity and longevity of the storms but also for being the only violent tornado outbreak ever recorded in the region. In total, the storm system killed 88 people across the United States and Canada and left more than 500 million dollars in damage.
The only tornado awarded an F5 rating during the outbreak began its 47 mile path of destruction in Portage County, Ohio. After ripping through sparsely populated forestland, the tornado swept through the city of Newton Falls at F3 intensity. Damage was widespread throughout the town, but no fatalities were recorded. As the tornado continued eastward at 50mph it gained strength, leveling rural homes north of Lordstown. The tornado was approaching F5 intensity as it entered the outskirts of Niles, a manufacturing city south of Warren. Massive industrial tanks more than 30ft high and weighing 75,000 pounds were crumpled like soup cans, one of which was rolled 60 yards onto a nearby road. Large, well-constructed homes lining Lantern Lane were swept completely away as the tornado roared through cul-de-sacs around the Niles Union Cemetery (Grazulis, 2001). Pronounced wind rowing was noted as the tornado made a slight curve to the north and headed towards the US 422. Three people were killed as two vehicles were thrown from the road. On the west side of the highway, the Niles Park Plaza and a large skating rink were leveled and partially swept away, causing additional fatalities.
As the tornado continued eastward towards the Pennsylvania border it maintained F4 intensity and completely demolished several rural residences. The tornado remained fairly narrow throughout its life, with the primary damage path never surpassing 150 yards in width. After crossing into Pennsylvania, the storm entered the industrial area of Wheatland at F5 intensity. A man shielding two children in a ditch was torn from the ground and later found dead in the debris of a destroyed business a block away. Nearby, a six-year old boy running home from a baseball game was caught outside and killed by the storm (Ivory, 2007). Four more died in separate buildings at the intersection of Church Street and Ohio Street. The tornado may have reached peak intensity during its second wind maxima on the east side of Wheatland. A trucking plant was stripped of its roof and walls, and the steel-beam frame of the building was "twisted like a pretzel" (Grazulis, 2001). Sections of pavement were scoured from the plant's parking lot, and surveyors documented pieces of debris and paper wedged beneath the remaining asphalt. Minutes after exiting Wheatland, the tornado weakened and dissipated.
In total, the violent tornado killed 11 people in Ohio and seven in Wheatland. A damage survey concluded that the tornado caused F5 damage both in Niles and in Wheatland. Yet despite the severity of the building damage, photographic evidence indicates the tornado failed to cause significant tree debarking in the worst affected areas. As discussed in Part II, violent tornadoes may cause some extreme damage indicators but not others. The reason why damage patterns differ so wildly is unknown.

The Niles Park Plaza was leveled and partially swept away as the tornado crossed the US 422. Next door to the plaza was the Autumn Hills Retirement Home, where several apartment buildings were completely destroyed.
Homes on the north side of Chestnut Ridge Road were obliterated as the tornado headed due east towards the Pennsylvania border. (Image by John Durkos)
Perhaps the most impressive damage caused by the F5 tornado was to a trucking plant near the end of its path in eastern Wheatland. The narrow tornado completely destroyed the building, leaving only the twisted steel frame of the structure. Sections of pavement were scoured from the business's parking lot, an indication of extreme intensity. (NOAA Storm Data)

Great SQL Server Report Builder – Implementation & Customization - Datasparc Inc.
Building dashboards, reports, data visualization, and charts can be easier with a web-based SQL server report builder. The best tool offers ad hoc capability, making it a suitable alternative to a conventional SQL SSRS (service reporting service) or to the Oracle APEX (Application Express). Business users and SQL Developers can rely on it to securely create and share reports easily with other users. To implement this type of SQL server report builder, you need to find a skilled and expert database and reporting software development specialist.
One of the best things about a custom SQL server report builder is that it can have the features that are most essential to your business. The Ad Hoc report builder allows you to add parameters to your report and save it into formats like xls, PDF, CSV, and, HTML. Before building reports, you can schedule them to receive results via email or save on a user directory. The best SQL server report builders have the capability to build D3-based charts, too. This way, you can use a platform that supports different types of charts such as gauge, dendogram, bubble, line, pie, chord, box plots, discrete bar, stacked/grouped multi-bar, and stacked/group area.
You can customize your own dashboard to share with other users. With a dashboard builder, you can create dashboards with data grids and charts, and share them to authorized users with an HTML link. A high-end dashboard should support password-protected and non-protected dashboards. Likewise, it should allow users to put an expiration date on it or to disallow access after a certain period.
Reports scheduling is a feature that a great SQL server report builder should have. This function lets you schedule reports to occur at repeated intervals. The automation aspect of scheduled reports eliminates the need to manually do reports, allowing you to save time and effort, while making sure that reports are delivered at a timely manner.

Linda McAlister, Founder of Feminist Philosophy Journal Hypatia, Dies at 82
Historians in the News
tags: feminism, philosophy, womens history
Linda Lopez McAlister, a philosophy and women's studies professor and a founder of Hypatia, a feminist journal that was the first major publication of its kind, died on Nov. 9 at her home in Albuquerque. She was 82.
The cause was heart failure, said Sharon Bode, her wife and sole survivor.
Philosophy, like most disciplines in academia and beyond, was very much a man's world when Dr. McAlister began her studies in the late 1950s. (It had been so since antiquity; Aristotle famously had some rather peculiar ideas about female anatomy, averring that women had fewer teeth than men and a lower body heat, conditions that he believed disqualified them from serious endeavors like philosophy.)
Dr. McAlister recalled in an essay for Hypatia in 1989 that when she entered the doctoral program in philosophy at Cornell in 1964, the administration broke its rule of admitting just one woman each year and "took a chance," as she was told, by admitting four.
After earning her Ph.D., she was hired as a professor of philosophy at Brooklyn College and quickly became invigorated by the women's movement. With her peers around the country she began challenging sexism in their field. They wanted to publish work from a feminist perspective, but there was no place to do it.
So in 1972 they formed the Society for Women in Philosophy and began to strategize on how to fund and produce a journal. It took more than a decade before Hypatia debuted, first appearing as an insert in the Women's Studies International Forum, an academic journal. Its first editor was Azizah Al-Hibri, now professor emerita of law at the University of Richmond.
By the late 1980s, Hypatia had a dedicated publisher, Indiana University Press, and was presenting scholarly writing on topics like Foucault and feminism, French feminist philosophy, motherhood and sexuality, and reproductive technologies.
It was the first journal of philosophy to address feminist issues, said Mary Ellen Waithe, professor emerita of philosophy at Cleveland State University and the editor of the four-volume anthology "A History of Women Philosophers."
"Mainstream philosophy in the 1970s did not consider feminism a valid topic," she said in an interview. "It was looked down on as girl stuff, with all the diminished capacity aspects you can imagine."
Dr. McAlister was adamant that the journal be called Hypatia, for the fourth-century Alexandrian mathematician, astronomer and Neoplatonist philosopher who was skinned alive and burned by Christian zealots outraged by her pagan beliefs.

"In Thrive, Arianna Huffington makes an impassioned and compelling case for the need to redefine what it means to be successful in today's world."
"Arianna Huffington's personal wake-up call came in the form of a broken cheekbone and a nasty gash over her eye -- the result of a fall brought on by exhaustion and lack of sleep. As the cofounder and editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post Media Group -- one of the fastest growing media companies in the world -- celebrated as one of the world's most influential women, and gracing the covers of magazines, she was, by any traditional measure, extraordinarily successful. Yet as she found herself going from brain MRI to CAT scan to echocardiogram, to find out if there was any underlying medical problem beyond exhaustion, she wondered is this really what success feels like?
In this deeply personal book, Arianna talks candidly about her own challenges with managing time and prioritizing the demands of a career and raising two daughters -- of juggling business deadlines and family crises, a harried dance that led to her collapse and to her "aha moment." Drawing on the latest groundbreaking research and scientific findings in the fields of psychology, sports, sleep, and physiology that show the profound and transformative effects of meditation, mindfulness, unplugging, and giving, Arianna shows us the way to a revolution in our culture, our thinking, our workplace, and our lives."

Thirdway Think exists to instill creative confidence and build capacity for inventive thinking.
I help groups find solutions. I am not a consultant. I am a facilitator. You bring the content knowledge and local expertise, and I'll design the best way to have the conversation.
We will dive deep into the problem, challenge long-held assumptions, and find out what we need to know. Our proposed solutions will consider local constraints and context.
We will intentionally foster diversity in our approach. By inviting different voices and perspectives to the conversation, we will leverage the opportunity to learn from each other.
We will capitalize on existing knowledge, expertise, and experience. Using collaborative methods, we will design, build, and own our proposed solutions.

Apply for the Joan Shorenstein Fellowship
Please read the following information and scroll to the bottom of the page to apply.
Since the Shorenstein Center's founding in 1986, the Fellowship Program has been central to its mission examining the intersection of media, politics and public policy. The purpose of the Joan Shorenstein Fellowship Program is to advance research in the field of media, politics and public policy; facilitate a dialogue among journalists, scholars, policymakers and students; and provide an opportunity for reflection.
View past Fellows and their work.
About the Joan Shorenstein Fellowship Program
The Joan Shorenstein Fellowship Program is designed to provide journalists, scholars, politicians and policymakers with an opportunity for reflection. A Fellowship offers busy professionals the time and resources needed to think, research, and write on issues central to our media and politics.
The primary focus of a fellow is to research and write a paper on a media/politics topic. The Shorenstein Center strives to create an environment for fellows to do their best work, with faculty support, weekly discussion meetings with peers, and all the resources that Harvard has to offer, including world-class libraries and leading experts on a vast array of subjects.
During the semester fellows will attend regular events hosted by the Center, including thought-provoking speakers from the media and social gatherings. Fellows leave the Center having made lasting friendships and important professional connections.
It is our hope that fellows come away from their time at the Shorenstein Center having contributed to the field in a substantive way, and having embraced all the opportunities and activities that present themselves on a daily basis as a part of Harvard University. In an era when the noise of the constant news cycle leaves little time for reflection, the Shorenstein Center's Fellowship Program aims to provide the space to think critically about our media and its role in our society; to shape the debate and understand which questions deserve the most attention; and to create a vibrant and long-lasting community of scholars and practitioners dedicated to meeting the challenges faced by our institutions.
Since 1986, the Fellowship Program has brought hundreds of journalists, scholars and politicians from around the world to the Center. Past fellows include journalists from local, national and international TV, radio, print, and digital media; media and civic technology innovators; nonfiction authors; political advisors and policymakers; leading academic scholars in fields such as media research and political science; and policy analysts.
Successful former fellows have come from a variety of backgrounds and career stages. The Shorenstein Center is committed to diversity, and actively encourages applications from all demographic backgrounds, and across the political spectrum.
Applicants for Shorenstein Fellowships must be a working journalist, politician, scholar or policymaker currently or recently active in the field. The guidelines below offer further detail; however, if you unsure if you are eligible we encourage you to contact our staff to discuss further.
Journalist: Reporters, editors, columnists, producers, media business executives and related, with a minimum of five years of full-time experience either at professional news organizations or as a full-time freelancer (not including work completed as a university student).
Politician: Someone who has campaigned and been elected to a national or high-level state office, or communications professionals within politics and policy, e.g. speechwriters, press secretaries.
Scholar: Tenured or tenure-track professor employed by a college, university or research institution in political science, political communication, journalism, international political communication, or a field relevant to the Shorenstein Center's areas of inquiry.
Policymaker: High-level official in a cabinet office or adviser to a candidate for national office.
Applicants should not have participated in another fellowship within the two years prior to their preferred semester.
Applicants must be fluent in English – listening, reading, writing and speaking. Non-native English speakers must provide TOEFL or IELTS score.
What is expected of a fellow?
Applicants must be available to be in residence, full-time, for one semester (September through December or February through May) in Cambridge, MA. Unfortunately we cannot consider requests for remote or nonresidential fellowships.
The Fellowship is a full-time appointment, and applicants are expected to commit to the work of completing their primary research project and engaging in the life of the Center, its activities and events. It is understood that busy modern professionals will have occasional essential obligations, and the Center aims to be considerate and flexible in such circumstances. However, any applicant with professional, personal or travel commitments that would require significant time away should consider applying when their schedule allows for the full commitment of a fellowship.
What will I be working on?
The primary deliverable for a fellow is a research paper in a style similar to a magazine essay, journal article or book chapter examining the influence of the media on politics or public policy in the domestic or international arena. Fellows' papers are published on the Shorenstein Center website, and many have been cross published or excerpted in a variety of high-profile media outlets and academic journals, or have become the basis for a longer book. The quality and originality of an applicant's research proposal is a key deciding factor in their potential selection.
Fellows who are journalists, policymakers or other practitioners will often seek to write papers that represent provocative or speculative arguments designed to stimulate debate among the wider community. Fellows who are university scholars usually write a paper based on original research with a well-supported and fully-documented conclusion.
Financial assistance and other resources
Fellows receive a stipend of $30,000, paid in monthly installments at the end of each month over the 4-month semester. Travel and living expenses are not covered by the Shorenstein Center.
Fellows are provided with a workstation in the Shorenstein Center fellows' suite, a computer, phone, Harvard email address, and a Harvard ID allowing access to libraries and other resources.
Fellows are also able to select a paid Harvard Kennedy School student research assistant (eligible to work up to 10 hours per week) to work on their projects.
Life as a Shorenstein Center fellow
In addition to their primary research project, fellows participate in a range of activities throughout the semester.
Fellows begin their time at the Center with a series of orientation activities and welcome events, including a reception to introduce themselves to the Kennedy School and wider Harvard community. Fellows can hold office hours with students throughout the semester, and meet with fellows and faculty from other areas of the School.
Fellows are given a workstation in the Center's offices to use as a home base, with a laptop computer. The Center's office has a kitchen, lounge areas and private phone booths available for use. Many fellows have enjoyed spending time working across the Harvard University campus, particularly its historic libraries which offer vast collections of books and rare materials as well as a convivial place to work.
On Mondays, fellows gather with faculty and their peers for a weekly lunch meeting in which they present their research to the group to discuss progress, argue the case for their theses, listen to feedback, and shape the direction of their papers. Tuesdays feature the Center's popular Speaker Series, bringing high-profile journalists to campus to engage in lively Q&A discussions on timely news topics, followed by a private lunch with fellows.
The Center hosts several high-profile evening events each semester, including its long-running Theodore H. White Lecture on Press and Politics, Richard S. Salant Lecture on Freedom of the Press, and its flagship Goldsmith Awards featuring the presentation of a prize for the best investigative reporting of the year, and a career award for excellence in journalism.
Elsewhere on campus, the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum frequently features speakers from the highest levels of government for lively discussion and debate. The Kennedy School's other Centers and initiatives regularly host experts in a wide variety of topics, and Shorenstein Center fellows are often asked to speak. And the wider Harvard University calendar features hundreds of activities and events each week, including lectures, panels, exhibitions, music, theater, film, sports and much more. Occasionally, fellows have audited courses, although this is dependent on the instructor's policies, capacity, and the fellow's own busy schedule.
Fellows receive a Harvard ID, which allows for discounted membership to Harvard's athletic facilities as well as tickets to museums, exhibitions, movies, sports and the performing arts. Previous fellows have used their free time to explore the rich cultural and historical offerings of the Boston and New England area. Several fellows have brought their partners, spouses or families with them for the semester, many of whom get involved in a variety of Harvard activities open to the public.

Once when I ordered a set of magnets from this company, I got a call back from one of their engineers apologizing for not having the precise model I ordered in stock. He offered to upgrade my order free of charge, to send me a different magnet of the same dimensions but higher quality, but he first wanted to make sure that the higher field strength would not mess up the application I had in mind. I thought that was seriously good service.

Piru Singh Shekhawat
Company Havildar Major Piru Singh Shekhawat (20 May 1918 – 18 July 1948) was an India Army non-commissioned officer, awarded the Param Vir Chakra (PVC), India's highest military decoration.
Singh enrolled in the British Indian Army on 20 May 1936, and was assigned to the 1st Punjab Regiment. Between 1940 and 1945, he served on the North-West Frontier and as an instructor, before deploying to Japan as part of the British Commonwealth Occupation Force. After independence, he took part in the Indo-Pakistani War of 1947, serving with the Indian Army's 6th Rajputana Rifles. During the battle, Singh was part of the leading section of a company that was assigned to capture a Pakistani post at Tithwal, in Jammu and Kashmir. Soon after their attack was launched, the company suffered heavy casualties. In time, Singh successfully occupied a Pakistani medium machine-gun post. But, by that time, the entire company lay dead or wounded. Singh was left alone to achieve the objective. He moved out and lobbed grenades at the next enemy post. Before moving to another trench, he received a mortal bullet wound to the head.
Piru Singh was born on 20 May 1918, in village Beri, Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan. He was the son of Lal Singh.His family consisted of seven children—three brothers and four sisters—with Singh being the youngest son. As a young boy, Singh always hated school, as he was unable to cope with the restricted environment. One day, after being scolded by his class teacher for quarreling with one of his classmates, Singh ran away, and never returned to school. After that, Singh continued to help his parents in their farm, and grew up to be well-built and handsome youth. Shikar, a local Indian sport, was his favourite game. Though Singh wanted to join the army from his childhood, he was rejected twice, as he was too young, before he was accepted at the age of eighteen.
Piru Singh Shekhawat was enrolled in the 10th Battalion of the 1st Punjab Regiment on 20 May 1936 at Jhelum. After completion of his training, on 1 May 1937, Singh was posted to the 5th Battalion of the same regiment. Despite his earlier hostility to schooling, Singh took education seriously and passed the Indian Army Class Certificate of Education. After clearing a few other tests, he was promoted to lance naik (lance corporal) on 7 August 1940. During his tenure with the 5th Battalion of the 1st Punjab, he saw action on the North-West Frontier.
In March 1941, he was promoted to naik (corporal), and was posted as an instructor to the Punjab Regimental Centre at Jhelum in September. In February 1942, he was promoted to havildar (sergeant). Singh was an outstanding sportsman, he represented his regiment in hockey, basketball and cross-country running at inter-regimental and national level championships. In May 1945, he was promoted to company havildar major (company sergeant major). He served as an instructor until October 1945. After the end of the Second World War, he was sent to Japan as part of the British Commonwealth Occupation Force, where he served until September 1947. Following the partition, Singh was transferred to the 6th Battalion of the Rajputana Rifles.

MTSU names co-directors of Office of Research and Sponsored Programs
by Stephanie Wagner
Gregory Rushton, left, the TN STEM Educator Center director at Middle Tennessee State University, and Dawn McCormack, right, the associate dean of the College of Graduate Studies, were recently named the co-directors of the university's Office of Research and Sponsored Programs. (Rushton photo by Andy Heidt; McCormack photo by Stephanie Barrette)
MTSU's Office of Research and Sponsored Programs has named administrators Dawn McCormack and Gregory Rushton as co-directors to lead efforts to support and promote faculty and student research across the Blue Raider campus.
The ORSP oversees everything related to research and sponsored activity at the university. It spans from the numerous research opportunities available to undergraduates through the Undergraduate Research Center to facilitating faculty grants and research projects as well.
Dr. Dawn McCormack
Dr. Greg Rushton
McCormack, who remains associate dean of the College of Graduate Studies, has been involved with research since she first arrived at MTSU more than a decade ago.
"From finding ways to fund my archaeological projects in Egypt to working with faculty and students at the undergraduate and graduate levels, I have been involved in research since I came to MTSU in 2008," McCormack said. "It is an absolute honor to now work in the ORSP to create the most efficient and transparent systems possible to serve our faculty and students in their research endeavors."
Rushton, meanwhile, began work at the university as the TN STEM Education Center director in August 2018 to promote the academic areas of science, technology, engineering and math.
Dr. David Butler
"I think there's an excitement and anticipation of what can be accomplished as an ORSP team, building upon what's been done over the past several years and leveraging our collective energy, ideas and mission," Rushton said. "I'm honored to work with research faculty across the university to facilitate and grow MTSU into a premier institution from a sponsored programs perspective."
David Butler, vice provost for research, said the university is on a growth curve with its funded research and creative activity endeavors.
"We are making improvements within the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs to help facilitate, and accelerate, this growth trajectory," Butler said. "Our goal is to serve each faculty member, and graduate student, at MTSU and assist them in finding, applying for and securing external funding for their scholarship. Having secured grants over my research career, I want all people to feel the same excitement I had of having my scholarship chosen to be supported by an outside group."

(MTSU photo by Andy Heidt)
McCormack looks forward to supporting that mission in her new role.
"The faculty at MTSU continue to do extraordinary research that impacts our university, local community, Tennessee and beyond. Being a part of this mission is very exciting and something that inspires me to come to work every day," she said.
Before coming to MTSU, Rushton worked at SUNY Stony Brook as an associate professor of chemistry and associate director in the Institute for STEM Education. He has also directed multiple research projects throughout his career, with external funding totaling near $17 million since 2005.
An active scholar and researcher at MTSU since his arrival, Rushton understands what the school does well at supporting faculty to carry out their research and creative activity goals.
"I've also seen how we have opportunities to grow through additional infrastructure, operating efficiencies and being responsive to rapidly changing research environments," he said. "I look forward to working alongside those with a similar passion and realizing the collective vision we share about where we can move in the coming months."

H75 - 3 pickup
Electric hollowbody - Sunburst
Production year(s) : 1960-1972 (other years possible, not verified)
3 pickups
Joel Poluck plays for Floyd Lee -Full Moon Lightnin documentary -
Rene van den Belt (from Holland) - 2005-12-14
I have a 1967 Harmony H75 in excellent condition. It's a fantastic guitar, suited for blues, country, jazz and rock'n roll. It came with a non-original tremelo which I replaced with a Bigsby B7, so now the guitar should be called H76. It's of the easiest playing and best sounding guitars I've ever played. The DeArmond Gold Tone single coils are very responsive and lively. I believe that these deluxe Harmony thinlines (H74 - H78) rival far more expensive Gibson ES and Epiphone models with P90's and Gretsches.
Trevor Lewis - 2006-03-13
Ive had a H75 from new (1963)and its still sweet and sounds great, over the years it's achieved a beautiful mellow tone idealfor blues and jazz, the only problem with it is that I've lost one of the volume control knobs and can't find anyone that can replace it, the spindle size is not standard it's about 2.5-3mm.
Simon Rowan - 2006-05-25
These guitars are an absolute giveaway at anywhere between �400-�600 depending on condition. Someone wrote that he sold his gibson 335 because he preferred the Harmony 75. According to a friend of mine it is actually nearer a 330, but whoes counting if you've got a comparable guitar �19500 cheaper!!! I have only had mine for two years and considered selling it because I wasnt giving it the attention it deserves. Well its just had a professional refret and I cant think why I even considered selling. If you're in this area of guitar style get yourself a bargain while they are still around, they really dont make them like this anymore.
Steve - 2006-06-14
I now am the proud owner of the H75 last two pictures on the top line at the right, and first on the left second from the top. Imported it from the good ol' USA - I dont know how many Harmonys there are in the land of Oz (Australia) but this one is a gem. Sounds amazing, particularly through a Traynor 15w valve amp (Celestion Greenback).

great website. i have an h75 (1961). i love it. it was my dads and i would give up my les paul, strat, or prs before i ever gave up this thing (not that i plan on giving any up). the sound is great. i play through various fenders / ampegs / marshalls, and assorted other old tube goodies. my neck pick does not seem to work. i hear a faint sound but overall nothing. any suggestions? i would love to have play this at its full potential (i still use it often even with just the other two pickups working).

I have a H75 which I've owned since since 1972. Prior to me it was owned by a recording engineer and George Harrison used on a recording whilst with the Beatles. It also appeared on TOTP's (which I saw) when his band had a single in the charts. It's a bit knocked about now having been used for a band, but mostly due to water damage from a flood. But it's still a great guitar which I would never sell. I also have a Les Paul, Strat and PRS. There is something about those single coil pickups that's very sweet.

I bought my Harmony H75 from Jim Beckett in Gibbs Road, Southampton in 1967 when I was 17 for �78.It's still in almost perfect condition as I hardly ever play it these days. The only problem with it is the volume and tone knobs crackle when amplified. When I used to play it in the 60's the tone was fantastic and it still is apart from the crackle. The serial No is 1572.

I was just lucky enough to buy a Fall '62 H75 from an old music store in Brooklyn. It is New Old Stock and was dealer fitted in '62 with a Bigsby and Gretsch Space Control bridge. It is an amazing guitar! I actually like it better than my '63 Gibson ES330. And its WAY better than any Gretsch I've ever played. Its the best $800 I've ever spent! Who says there are no bargains in vintage guitars anymore?
About the white one, after close inspection the owner swears it's original, but I still have a doubt...

i have had my h75 harmony guitar for about 30 years it is so versitile and i would not part whith it for less than �800 british pounds it is a fantastic guitar in my apinion it is better than the gibson 335 but thats me as it is my little baby happy playing colin.
Mike H - 2007-02-18
I bought one of these about 17 years ago in Southampton for about �150. It had been well used when I bought it and has been well used and gigged since so it got in a rather sorry state of repair and I put it into semi-retirement. However got it out again the other day and realised I'd forgotten how great it sounds. Mine has a bigsby but is labelled as an H75 (number 853 so I guess is quite an early model). I've replaced the bridge (with some difficulty due to the very narrow string spacing). Neck needs some attention as nut is loose and fretboard worn but I still wouldn't part with it. It sounds way better than my Gibson ES135. If anyone has some recommended UK sites for repairers/restorers etc it would be useful to know.
John Magnifico (Leesburg, Fl. USA) - 2007-02-23
Very interesting website. I special ordered a H75 in 1965 from Harmony through a local dept. store called "Lechmere Sales", in Dedham Mass. I ordered the Sun Burst color. Harmony took 3 months to build the guitar and sent the Cherry Red by mistake. When I opened the case in the store and saw the Red I was not happy. The more I looked at it the more I fell in love. No more needs to be said. The price was $225.00 CASE INCLUDED. (no tremelo). I played it for many years through a Fender Princeton Reverb Amp. (that, I still have) that I purchased at the same time somewhere else. Great Amp.
(just became single again.),I have tears in my eyes every time I see one in e-bay because about 9 years ago I traided the Harmony for a reworked Gibson ES125 fat body that was reworked buy a internationaly renound Luthier. He added a Charley Christian pickup and a cutaway and lots more. I won't tell how much I payed for that Gibson including the H75. I have miss that Harmony every time I play. Very big mistake. I also have an Ibanez AG85 that is now my favorite in hand guitar. It is a nice player but nothing can get the variation in sound that Harmony could.
B.Kendall - 2007-04-20
Absolutely a great guitar. Got one in about '60-'61 new as upgrade from H38 Hollywood. Also got the big Silvertone Amp as an upgrade to a smaller Rickenbacker.
Very addictive axe ... took top priority. The neck was very nice with a place where it would flex a bit like in "Summertime Blues".
Very good solo ... fingering was best ever; especially after the work-out from the old Hollywood. Relatively heavy piece in comparison to others of the day except for the old solid Carvins.
Workmanship was exceptional ... gave it to oldest son who traded it for an accoustic about 1982. I saw one in Henderson,KY 4-5 years ago at a music shop there during W.C. Handy Blues Fest. Priced quite expensively but still felt the same and very tempting. Probably was a "lifetime" quality guitar that I did not appreciate at the time.
Jeff Stoddard - 2007-06-23
I have a 1961 Harmony H75 and it's without a doubt on of the best playing and sounding guitars in my collection. It has more versatility and better tone than guitars that are triple the cost. There simply isn't a better value out there. I can't recommend getting one of the H- model Harmony guitars highly enough.
Grady - 2007-07-06
I played one of these about 1972-74 in the Birmingham area (UK) in a blues trio called 'Fatty'. I was longing for a strat back then so I sold it on to get one. I have good memories of it. Fine neck, good for fast blues phrasing. Good 'nasal' sound from the p/u's. I was playing it through an AC30, and in small places, when we played loud, there were feedback problems which I finally got over by stuffing the body cavity with cotton wool. I still use the 335-style guitar (though now I do use a strat & a tele as my main axes). I've been by the Epiphone 'Sheraton', and currently own an old Epiphone 'Dot' 335 ("elitist"). I'd like to get hold of an old H75 again. I reckon it had a 'gretsch-y' tone.
Brian - 2007-07-07
I own a 1967 Barclay F-67, which is a very rare and very similar guitar to this model. The serial numbers read 9864h74-3. Which according to my research meant it was the third model to be produced on July 3, 1967. There is not much about this company except that they used the Harmony factory in Chicago to produce their instruments for a short period of time. I also owned a Barclay "Bobkat" version, which is very similar as well. The guitars play like butter, better than any Fender or higher end guitar I've ever owned.
Alex - 2007-08-03
I have this Model of harmony from 1967 . That's a very good guitar for all the music styles ! It's in perfect condition!
I play with a 30W tubes amps it's Just Magic !!
terry - 2007-11-04
i have a h75 model.my father passed away sadly last year and he always said he would leave me his guitar.i now have his beloved harmony that i will treasure like he did.it is a wonderful sounding guitar and i have never seen another here in ireland.great to see the other models here on the net.it is a quality guitar that is as good if not better than alot of the pricey models you will get out there.
Loyd Hutchison - 2007-11-19
I have a Harmondy H75 I bought second hand from a local music store in 1971 for $125.00. It is a great guitar. I played it though a Fender Twin reverb for many years, and currently just play it through a 15W crate amp just for fun.
Great guitar to play wonderful action. It's missing a couple of the knobs, and so if anyone knows where I can get some that would be helpful.
Harvey Perdue - 2007-11-26
I have a 1965 H74, that is Beautiful. It plays Great, looks new. It has two Gibson P90's, the Bridge pickup is about 1 inch thick. All Gibson Les Paul Wiring Harness. Gibson Pop out crank tuning keys. Gibson Bridge, it even has a Les Paul Pickguard and Bell on the neck rod adjustment.
It is orginal sunburst finish, with orginal Bigby. This Guitar reminds me of a 1960's Gretch Viking.
Oh, all the Gibson parts came from The Kalamazoo Auction, when Gibson closed. All these goodies were for a Les Paul Custom, with a dated neck 1957. It was an experimental Les Paul, that was never put together. I got a nice price in 1991 for the Guitar body and Neck, and put all the parts in My 1965 Harmony. One Killer Guitar. Plays circle around The Heritage double cut away. I know I have 2 For Sale. Love My Old Harmony H74, the finish is perfect, also have the orginal case.
Bob Carter - 2008-01-23
I have a 4780H75 Harmony made in 1960 and I have owned it since 1961 it is in excellant condition and I also have the hard case and the original shoulder strap that came with it in 1961 the only thing I need is the screws and bracket to put the pick guard back on. I love the sound it has it is a great guitar.
Stuart Lord - 2008-03-18
I also have a H75 with a bigsby tremolo bought it second hand about 35yrs ago. Chrome needs retouching on the chrome of the pick-ups but o.k.
Derek Leary - 2008-04-17
I ordered my H75 on the strength of a picture in a catalouge I saw mid 60s.I had already played a soveriegn and was impressed. It took about 2 months to arrive from the states.Someone said your guitar has arrived and theres a crowd around it in the shop.It proved to be every bit a good as I hoped.My wife bought one as well and we also gained a spare.
They have done us proudly during our 45 year career in the biz. A great guitar with so many subtle shades and tones. Brilliant ! Derek and Christie Leary
Rob Millis (Surrey UK) - 2008-06-28
Thanks to all who have made comments here. I thought I'd left it too late to ever pick up a genuine vintage American guitar for the collection (which is comprised of the usual mid-price Japanese Teles, Korean Epis and Tokais..etc) and had ignored Harmony for years, having them down as Framus/Hofner type fodder: pretty to look at but probably not that playable in a modern gig situation. Anyway, it was the amount of comments on this page that highlighted the fact that many people who bought a Harmony actually kept it and many still gig them; I have thus purchased an H75 on eBay this week and can't wait for it to arrive!!!!
Rob Millis (UK) - 2008-07-01
..and further to the above, it arrived today. What a guitar! Even better than expectations. Lovely playable action; was dubious about how the pretty uniform neck width would affect playing up the top, but half an hour into playing it all seems fine. Great tone from the DeArmonds and the selection of sounds are second to none. It's like a Strat and a 335 all rolled into one - so versatile that I might have to buy another!!
dave cartwright,UK - 2008-07-21
Bought my H75 from Elderley Instruments. Took 36 hours from Chicago to Worcester!! Now that's flying!
I bought it to replace the 1963 model I p/exchanged for a Harmony 12 string acoustic in '65. This one is a 1963 model and bears the same serial number (3633) as the old Harmony factory address in Recin Street, Chicago. Now that's cool!
Anyway, a truly fantastic guitar! Just as I remeber it all those years ago.Pride of place.
David Knowles - 2008-07-30
Bought my H75 second hand in Manchester in 1975, paid �30 for it and still plays like a dream!

I HAVE OWNED MY 1962 HARMONY H75 FOR 17 YEARS.I HAVE TO SAY IT MUST BE THE BEST BLUES GUITAR I HAVE PLAYED.IM SURPRISED BB KING DOESNT PLAY ONE OF THESE BABYS.WOULDNT HE MAKE IT SOUND SWEET.
warren targett - 2008-12-16
I am restoring my H75 (bought new 1963). It is in need of a lot of tlc and respect after being used onstage 6 nights a week for the first 12 years of its life. The original case still is in fair condition. This was the only instrument that I could get do a switcheroo to lefthanded at the time and in the price range. I was surprised at the gem I had bought. I still think the controls gave me more versatility once I was used to driving them. I used Australian made Moody valve amps (15 then 40 then 100 watt) until 1969.The sound that that combination gave me was ideal for the cabaret work I was doing at the time. In 1970 I used it in my Fender amp. The H75 had to share the amp with my leftie custom Tele (bought 1963 and still have). The Moody 100 went to God in a car accident and the H75 suffered some damage which was badly repaired by a Sydney luthier. It was never the same again. Everything still works fine electrically. The neck needs attention. Now that I'm older and wiser and not scared to restore it myself (I do repairs daily) I'm making it my 2009 project. My next entry here will be that the instrument is once again back to fighting fitness. Wish me luck!
Howard (Ex Spartans-a long time ago) - 2009-02-21
I still have my Harmony H75 serial No 1445 which I bought New in Soho back in the 60's. Advertised as "The only 3 pick up American Guitar under �100-00." It cost me �99-19-6d ex strap or case. I still play it from time to time. I wanted a second hand Gretch at the time, but could not find one, so bought the Harmony instead. Never had a problem, although I replaced the Nut with a Brass one, to add more "twang" & added a Bigsby myself, to play Duane Eddy & Chet Atkins stuff.
Look up "TheSpartans" at www.walthamstowmemories.co.uk if you want to see it when it was new'ish
Still sounds great through my original 1960 Selmer Selectortone 25 Watt amp, especially now I have added a tweeter to lift the treble on the 15" speaker.
If you see one for sale, try it & you will buy it. Sounds wonderful through a Fender Twin Reverb, but I will have to win the pools to afford one.
Tony Lentle - 2009-07-15
I have a H75 SN 2844 wich i purchased in 1964 for �30.00pds it has been a great guitar and played in bands for 35yrs.Still have it and as a Old Mature Guitar Player at 71 yrs still plug in and play.
Archtop37 - 2009-08-20
I picked up a 1962 H75 that was 100% orignal with a matching H304A amp in the orignal shipping box that was sent to Fort Ord, Calif.
You could have put a new born baby inside the back it was so clean. Both sat unused for about
35 years before I bought it from a little old lady. All I had to do was have a new Tung-Sol
6BF6 tube and a 600 V.D.C. Mylar replaced and it
came back alive! It also came with the origanal white and gray topped case!
The greatest find, soundwise, I've ever come across.
Last December, I wrote here that my 1960 Harmony H75 that was damaged in a car accident in 1971 and put away since then was my restoration project for 2009. Well, the "Grand Old Man" is back in town! Now fitted with a great replacement 1966 neck (bought on eBay), and some other new parts, the guitar plays like it was when it was new. I've fitted a new Bigsby B3 tremolo unit (which it never had), some new Grover machine heads and a brass bridge top. Being a leftie player on a rightie guitar, I've added a matching handed set of two pickguards which gives a unique look to the instrument. And the sound ... superb ... the electrics are still all original 1960. This is a great guitar for singing to. Every tone I want is right there on the guitar. I didn't realise just what a great instrument I had in my hands in 1960. It has now become my guitar of choice all over again. If you don't own an H75, then look around for a good one and buy it. You won't be disappointed, I promise you!
Ade 'Tonedog' Miller UK - 2010-03-05
Someone gave me (yes for no money!) a fairly trashed H75 about a year and a half ago, massive crack in the body and various other abuses - I nearly sold it on Ebay but my wife did some resoldering (she's good like that!) and I had the body pro-repaired and now it plays great and sounds great. I'm taking it to my rehearsal next week with my blues combo to try it for real. It's a blonde maple finish - this finish doesn't seem to be listed on the site, sorry if I missed it somewhere. Inside the f-hole it's stamped 3542H75 next to the Harmony, Chicago gold sticker + the three Dearmonds are date stamped 1964. I have added this to my small Harmony collection that includes aN H44, H88, H47 and an H49. I will get the ellusive H62 oneday hopefully. Happy Harmonys to you all

It is like the Picture 2nd down from upper left
Jon Metts Vancouver Washington - 2010-08-22
Awsome guitar. great sound crazy sustain and wiked feedback. This is one of my favorite guitars. Am having some trouble with bridge pickup and selector cover dried out cracked in two but would never let this guitar go. Found mine at a musical pawn shop for 450.00 It is worth alot more than that because of playability and sound.Peace

I have a 1963 model h75 serial no.1861 which I purchased for �50 in 1968.I have just started playing it again after quite a long time.I had forgotten what a cracking guitar it is.

My father-inlaw left me a model H75, 1960-62 model. Great ol guitar. Has lots of miles but still performs very well!!
bilrux - 2011-05-01
I have a 1960 H75 with the original 2-tone case. I bought it, used two years ago, and it had been amateurishly set up as to be mostly unplayable. With a little trial and error and patience, I got it workable. The range of sounds this guitar can produce with different combinations of the three pickups with individual tone/volume controls is awesome. I've used it in a small combo playing bass lines using only the neck pickup with the tone rolled down, and it worked. Harmony used this same body design for most of their thinline archtops, including basses.
Chops Hannigan - 2011-06-01
I just snagged one on eBay last night for $265. Sadly a previous owner replaced the pickups with no-name humbuckers which I'll replace with Duncan Antiquity PAF's, it has non-original red bakelite knobs, hideous strip tuners and somebody stripped it down to the curley maple. No worries I'll sunburst nitro the front, I hate finish on the neck anyway, I already bought imperial grovers for it and it looks to be an early model cause it has the killer tortoiseshell headstock. It's a real peach otherwise, I haven't got it yet but if it's half the guitar my buddy's Harmony/Silvertone 1446 was I'll be happy...
Robert - 2011-06-16
I have a 1960 4780H75 I've owned since it was new I have the oringinal case and strap that came with it and it is in excellant condition with all the parts that came with it and it plays fantastic. Roy Clark played it one night at a club in Vallejo Calif call Cornodo Inn,in 1962. He was fired that night and was told he would never make in the music industry,where they ever wrong.
Phil Fridge - 2011-10-01
Bought my H75 off e bay. Used cash from the sale of a Gretsch 6120....the Harmony cost half the money and is twice the guitar! Confusing with the serial numbers though..the body is stamped inside saying 279H75, whereas the sticker alongside has H75 serial number 1449. Anyone encountered the same confusion?
Stacking 3rds - 2011-10-25
This past summer(2011) my older cousin gave me his 1962 H-75. He was the original owner. The guitar has not been used in years and is in fantastic shape. Although I have distant memories of playing the guitar as a small kid, I had no idea that the guitar still existed much less what type of axe it was. Needless to say, researching the H-75 led me to this website. The guitar has a very cool vibe and a great hollow body sound.
Ray Young - 2012-04-20
Bought mine in 62 for �102. Played it for 5 years in a dance band playing 40/50 music then jazz in a quintet. Still have it, still play it often. Still gives a great sound. Lovely looking guitar from the 60`s. Played others but I go back to the H75 which has a smooth fret board.
Bought mine 1962, barrow-in-furness england for �102. Great guitar played it in a dans band playing 40/50 music. Later in a 5/ jazz band. Still play it a few times a month. Still gives a great sound with my Marshall 800.
shaun North Wales - 2012-07-18
I first bought an H-75 in 1979 when I was 17 years old. I was seriously into 50's rockabilly at the time and fell in love with the guitar as soon as I saw it. I believe it was a 1959 model. I played the guitar in the first band I was in doing old Sun and Chess covers aswell as some original 'self-penned' stuff. Being in-exerienced I didn't know what to do when the neck became warped so I sold it and bought a telecaster. I have just received my 'new' H-75, a 1964 one, and am amazed at how good these things are! I have played everything you can think of in the intervening years, Gibsons, fenders, Ibanez Yamahas, etc and this thing beats the lot. It's a nostalgia trip but it really is a beautiful instrument and a bit of unbeatable craftsmanship. Easily as good as any 335 or Gretch, in my opinion better!
Andrew Bazeley - 2012-12-29
I have what is probably a very early sixties H75 - much refinished and nearly ruined! Furtunately it still plays good. I know questions aren't allowed, but mine has a paper label inside with the serial number 2656. I suspect the usual branded stamp with a date is underneath this label, and I can't get it off without tearing it. I just wonder if this was common, and if there definitely is likely to be a date stamp under the label.
David from Down Under (South Australia) - 2013-01-27
Great site! These US made guitars are really cool. Don't' see too many down under. I can proudly say I'm the owner of a near mint 60's honey-burst H75. Came all the way from the US of A. She looks the part and definitely sounds it! Strung with 11's she is acoustically loud, amped up she commands attention. When playing live I'm always getting positive comments from onlookers. I couldn't sell her, we've bonded. Bonus; she came with her plush blue OHSC also in great cond. I'm a happy man!
Fogrider - 2013-02-19
I recently purchased a 1965 H75 in excellent condition in the original case. What can I say that hasn't already been said. It's a classic.
However, mine has a different tailpiece than I've ever seen on these guitars. It has the curved shape, but has only two bars connecting it to the bracket, and it's shorter than the ones pictured here. It's definitely original. I'm guessing that there may have been minor cosmetic variations of this model over the years.
John Scott - 2013-04-26
I got my hands on an H75 a year or so ago from a guy who said it had been in an attic for 40 years. It certainly looks in superb condition.
He reckons he was asked to look after it for a guy who played in a band called the 'Davy Quigly 5' who later had a heart attack and died, leaving no relatives. He said that the guy had been playing in the Star club in Hamburg in the early sixes and had got it from John Lennon as he did did not like it. He said Johns words were 'So I can go and get loaded'
The case does indeed have very old sixties Star Club Hamburg stickers on it. I also have the amp that he got at the time, which is also a Harmony.
I don't have any way to authenticate any of this though, which is a real shame.

Les Reslo, Halifax UK - 2014-05-21
I bought an H75 in 1964 for about �85, second-hand. I used it for 3 years doing well over 300 gigs. A lovely guitar to look at and a classic sound but mine had a few problems with the narrow bolt-on neck. Mine was warped and impossible to adjust to a good action. Finally I made a new bridge with individual string height adjusters which helped a bit. I also thought the controls were awkward on stage and it needed some kind of master volume control. I finally traded it in 1967 for a 1963 Gibson SG Standard (which I still have). I wonder who owns my H75 now?
I found a record of my H.75's serial No. it was 1432 which may make it the earliest mentioned on your site, so far. Good luck to it's present owner.

I have a 1967 model that sounds just amazing through my National twin reverb amp. I bought them as a set for $100 back in the 80s.
DC Mony - 2015-06-26
My parents had bought me an H-75 (with hard shell case) back in 1964. A few months later, I had a Bigsby put on the Guitar. From 1964 to 1969 I played gigs 6-8 times a month with this guitar. Unfortunately, I was playing the Ratskeller in Kenmore Square, when a fire broke out during a break. When the smoke cleared, all the instruments were gone. I never saw my Harmony again. I still miss my baby, but I know karma has probably paid the person(s) back!!!
I had my H75 for 30years great guitar need spare head gear where can I buy spares any one know
Phil Coggan - 2015-11-18
I bought a (Harmony) Fender Regal new in 1965.
It has the Fender "F" on the scratch plate, "Fender" on the truss rod cover and Fender Regal on the headstock. It doesn't bare the Harmony name anywhere. I am told that it was made under licence from Fender.
It's the only one I have ever seen, I have pictures.
It would probably be worth something today if I had kept it!
Chris Hughes - 2016-04-26
I bought my H75 when I was still at school, it is 1961 model and it was 90 guineas, but I got it for �90, from a shop near the station in Newcastle ran by two ladies who were like something from Arsenic and Old Lace. I have not gigged with her since 1999, but she went through a Marshall yesterday, a few bits of carbon, soon removed and it sounds fantastic, and still has the original case. I love her, and even though I own two Gretcsh guitars she will always be my first love.
Dino Carlucci - 2019-05-17
I bought the H75 in Frank Hessys music store in Liverpool UK in 1963 the 1961 model.It cost me £80 British pounds.through the F hole i could see a gold label saying Harmony Guitar Company Illinois Chicago as best I remember. My friend was in a group at the time the same time as the Beatles played around the Cavern in Liverpool and other Liverpool districts. The promoter at the time always put my friends group on supporting the Beatles on all the clubs so my Harmony would be getting played on stage before the Beatles came on. I had the H75 for 40 years then let it go to an up and coming player. The neck was bolted on to the body by 4 brass bolts and a truss rod inside the neck.i heard Gibson bought Harmony out but never heard it was true. The case it was in was given to me by a guy and the case was an old one of George Harrisons.absolutely true. It was no big deal at the time it was before the Beatles took off and were stll playing on the Liverpool scene. Just thought i would let you know
Andy Prendergast - 2019-06-22
I have just acquired a Harmony H75. Neck pickup not working. Nut split- it looked like ivory. Serial number 2196
