Fender Stratocaster. A guitar with a history. This Strat belongs to my daughter and how it came to be hers is interesting. When she was about 14 years old she went to a 4-H youth camp and while there she came in contact with a counselor who gave guitar lessons and she was hooked so we bought her an acoustic guitar and signed her up for regular lessons. During her time of lessons she drew a picture of herself playing an electric guitar and that guitar was a magenta/pink/red colored Fender Stratocaster. One day while out shopping she convinced me to go into a Pawn shop and there it was... the exact same guitar she had drawn in her picture in that weird magenta/pink/red color! It had been pawned by a musician down on his luck. The shop keeper told us he had the Strat painted to match his girlfriend's favorite fingernail polish. Pretty cool stuff, but just to add to it, we were able to track the year of the Strat and it was created in 1989.... the same year my daughter was born. Same color as her picture, same year she was born. So I ask, was it a fluke we walked into the pawn shop that day? :)

These are the West African drums from my latest model, The Lost Palace at Timbuktu, photographed in the style of my folk instruments series.
This instrument is also used for the Macro Mondays theme torn about 2 years ago, November Rain

The Bouzouki Shop, Athens. I bought a flute in this shop, a souravli in the first row in the case. As for the stringed instruments, those in the upper right are tzouras, and the smaller ones below them are baglamas. The larger one mid left (with the white pick guard) is a bouzouki. I bought a tzouras in another shop which seemed to have a wider selection.
Learning to play an instrument you’re not familiar with can be a bit daunting at first. Like most things just stick with it and don’t give up. Thanks for viewing my work. Gratitude and Kindness never go out if style. Use them often.
I have tickets to a Charles Lloyd Concert at the Musical Instrument Museum. I am a member. I wanted to familiarize myself with the Museum before the concert so I toured it. It is an incredible treasure in my backyard. A target rich environment for photographers.

MIM began with a vision to create a musical instrument museum that would be truly global. Realizing most musical museums featured historic, primarily Western classical instruments, MIM's founder Bob Ulrich (then CEO of Target Corporation) was inspired to develop a new kind of museum that would focus on the kind of instruments played every day by people worldwide. A focus on the guest experience shaped every aspect of the museumâs development. From the beginning, our goal has been to deliver a musical experience that is enriching, inspiring, interesting, and fun.
Today, MIM has a collection of more than 7,500 instruments from more than 200 world countries and territories. The galleries reflect the rich diversity and history of many world cultures. But music and instruments also show us what we have in common a thought powerfully expressed in our motto, MUSIC IS THE LANGUAGE OF THE SOUL.
MIM's immersive exhibits foster an appreciation of diverse cultures and the craftsmanship and traditions of instrument makers from the past to the present. A visit to MIM is also about experiencing the sensory nature of music and how it affects our emotions. Through state-of-the-art, interactive media, guests can see the instruments, hear their sounds, and observe them being played in their original contexts.

Paul V. loves working with his hands. He makes a variety of instruments including guitars, fiddles, banjos and more. He's always working on "projects". I asked if he could play something and he replied, "Well, okay but I'm not as good as I used to be."
This is from a series of portraits I took of him. Comments welcome.

Detail of the workings of a very old music box which plays 8 tunes. The dust etc is authentic - very difficult to access the works to clean. A larger image of the workings can be seen on my flickr site.
A young beautiful lady goes along the street on windy and snowy winter day. She studies her tablet PC to be on the right course. A good example of instrumental navigation in storm. Candid street photo or a portrait of the pretty young woman. May the happiness be with her.
I meant to have my granddaughter pose with her trumpet while we were in Phoenix. I remembered that when we were several hundred miles down the road. So instead I went to our neighborhood clubhouse for the piano as soon as we reached home. Considered trying my friend who has an accordion but after a 1,200 mile road trip, I conceded!

Venice was the hometown of Antonio Vivaldi. It is also the hometown of Interpreti Veneziani a group dedicated to making the music of Vivaldi and others. During the 2021 summer season, they performed at the Chiesa San Vidal in Venice. They also have dates in the US, UK, Japan, and in various European cities.
The Chiesa San Vidal also is a museum of expertly preserved and wonderfully displayed violins. The four pictured here were created by Venetian craftsmen between 1600 and 1700. My fascination with really old preserved art and architecture continues...
Even though the neck of his violin got broken, this guy just keeps playing on. Such dedication to his craft!
