For Seven Days of Shooting. Today starts a week of the study of “instruments”, with the usual Sunday theme of “Geometry”.
This photo fits both Wednesday and Thursday Challenges: the instruments are a bit worn and it is in BW.

Je poursuis mes dessins dans l'expo sur les instruments de musique. Cette fois-ci gros plan sur certains des outils du luthier.
At the very beginning of the Brussels Musical Instruments Museum's creation, two collections of instruments were joined together. the original creation of the Brussels Musical Instruments Museum dates from 1 February 1877, when it was attached to the Brussels Royal Music Conservatory with the didactic purpose of showing early instruments to the students. The Old England Building, Brussels Designed by architect Paul Saintenoy, the Old England building was constructed in 1899 and is considered one of Brussels's Art Nouveau gems. The former department store now houses the Museum of Musical Instruments.
O Trio Manari não só se destaca pela musicalidade, mas pela criatividade com que elaboram seus instrumentos com objetos simples.
My friends of Trio Manari
are not good only for the wonderful musicality, but for the creative way they elaborate their instruments with simple objects.
Moselle River Gorge, Germany
The Moselle (Mosel in German) is the best known of the 13 German wine-growing regions. The beautiful scenery of this part of the Moselle makes it a popular tourist destination. The white Riesling grape produces some of the best wines in this cool region of northern Europe. Riesling vines represent almost 60% of the vineyards in the Middle Moselle Valley shown here.
This detailed image (width covers a distance of 14.5 kilometers, or about 9 miles) shows the winding Moselle River flowing north (left to right). The river has cut a gorge more than 300 meters (984 feet) deep into a relatively flat plateau. The plateau is covered mainly in dark green forests, with some large agricultural fields. Because this is one of the coolest places in Europe where grape vines grow, the warmer microclimates that occur in the valleys below the exposed and higher plateau are key to growing vines.
Within the narrow and very steep valley, those slopes which face south and west are best for grapes. The north-facing slopes not only receive less direct sunshine, but the deep shadows of the canyon walls fall on them sooner in the day. These shadows are visible on the canyon wall opposite Kroev and elsewhere, where they make the river difficult to see. The vine-covered slopes, with very small plot sizes, appear as light grays and light greens along most of the gorge slopes. In this view, slopes around the villages of Kroev, Kuess, and Maring enjoy the best south-facing aspect.
Available sunlight is so limited here that even the reflected light from the river surface is known to help the vines, an effect that also favors south-facing slopes. The landscape character has also affected wine prices. Less-favorable slopes have been planted with hardier grapes of lower quality. This in turn has sometimes reduced prices somewhat for all Moselle wines.
Many slopes are so steep that the grapes cannot be harvested mechanically, which makes these vines very labor intensive and potentially hazardous for workers. The village of Bremm just outside the picture at top right, has the steepest documented vineyard in the world, with vines growing on a 65-degree slope.
Astronaut photograph ISS016-E-30127 was acquired on February 17, 2008, with a Kodak 760C digital camera fitted with a 800 mm lens, and is provided by the ISS Crew Earth Observations experiment and the Image Science & Analysis Laboratory, Johnson Space Center. The image was taken by the Expedition 16 crew. The image in this article has been cropped and enhanced to improve contrast. Lens artifacts have been removed. The International Space Station Program supports the laboratory to help astronauts take pictures of Earth that will be of the greatest value to scientists and the public, and to make those images freely available on the Internet. Additional images taken by astronauts and cosmonauts can be viewed at the NASA/JSC Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth. Caption by M. Justin Wilkinson, NASA-JSC.

Isn't that a great name?
From a catalog of band instruments, without the background. I see now that I left a little bloop on the rim... some day perhaps I'll fix it.

I met a man at the trainstation who played to get money for a ticket. He made a little break and told me, that he got this beautiful instrument from his grandfather and its´s over 300 years old. I don´t know if it´s true, but for the shot it´s not important.
By the way, of course i gave him a little bit money for his ticket ;-)
Photos taken for work of students at Madison Elementary School receiving new band instruments, a gift of the Des Moines Public Schools Foundation. The school, a participant in the federal Turnaround Arts program, has gone from now students in band two years ago to more than 20 and growing today.
A(nother) horror story from our local postal service that had a happy ending. I commissioned someone overseas for this 1/3 scale erhu replica last November, and unpacking revealed horrendous damage. The seller did acknowledge that she could have packed it better, but still, the box itself was unharmed, and so was the thinner bow. It's highly likely that somewhere down the shipping line, someone opened the package and manhandled its contents. This was actually the second COVID package I received with awful damages (the first was a resin doll head with heartbreaking chips).
Anyhoo, S.O. and I put our limited woodworking skills to use and managed to put the thing together again. Guórén now has his signature erhu, and everyone in the doll crew now has an instrument for musical photoshoots.
This is my Grandfather's german accordian...and that's a picture of him playing it. The picture is dated November 1965, but he passed in April 1962. The photograph was developed after his death so I'm not sure when it was actually taken.
