I went to the doc yesterday and he gave me a nice clean bill of health, so I stopped at a local coffe shop to "celebrate" with a coffee and pastry, and to write in my journal. (I know, I know....oh...the excitement!)
So, while enjoying the serenity of it all, I noticed this little piano sitting against the wall. It seemed to be telling me it needed some recognition, so I sketched it on my journal page and offer it here for anyone who thinks it's just about the neatest little sketch ever posted on the internet.
Not long ago I might have sketched the two middle-aged women sitting just off to the right who were laughing and giggling like two high school sophmores who were skipping school; or the guy just off to the left who was totally engrossed in his laptop. But my people sketching skills are not great and since it's been a couple weeks since I did any of it, they are even worse now. So I sketched the little piano instead.

The National style Resonator Guitar has one or more metal cones instead of the wooden sound board. The instrument was developed in the United States in the 1920s and 30s by the National String Instrument Corporation to provide a louder instrument than an acoustic guitar. It differs from the Dobro in that with the convex surfaces of the resonator/s are uppermost. In the last couple of decades several companies in different parts of the world have manufactured their own versions of the National Guitar.
This instrument is a 2006 National Estralita Deluxe resonator guitar. It was made in California by the National Reso-Phonic company, which was formed in 1989. The Estralita was first produced in 2001.
Resonator Guitars are assigned the number 321.322-6 in the Hornbostel-Sachs classification of musical instruments ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornbostel-Sachs ), indicating:
3 = Chordophone. Instruments where the sound is primarily produced by the vibration of a string or strings that are stretched between fixed points.
32 = Composite Chordophone. Acoustic and electro acoustic instruments which have a resonator as an integral part of the instrument, and solid body electric chordophones.
321 = Lutes. Instruments where the plane of the strings runs parallel with the resonators surface.
321.3 = Handle Lutes. Instruments in which the string bearer is a plain handle.
321.32 = Necked Lutes. Instrument in which the handle is attached to, or carved from, the resonator, like a neck
321.322 = Necked Box Lutes. Instruments in which the resonator is built up from wood.
321.322-6 = Strings vibrated by a plectrum.

Couldn't get my female to play this, even though it was covered in beads, one of her favorite object classes. Go figure.
Don't look at me but the Mongolia traditional musical string instrument. It's like the Chinese Erhu but bigger in size at the bottom part.

Archtop Electric Guitars have a relatively broad hollow soundbox, with a violin style arched top and back. The first Archtop was the Gibson L5 introduced in 1922, and the first Electric Archtop the Gibson ES150 introduced in 1935. The latter was the model for many of the Jazz Guitars which followed.
The instrument in the photo was made by the Chinese company Eastman (I believe an AR910).

Effects Pedals modify the sound of a musical instrument such as an Electric Guitar by means of changes like distortion, modulation, and feedback. They are often found on the floor on a pedalboard, and are operated with the feet.
The photo includes (left to right) TC electronic flashback (delay effect); Boss Chorus Ensemble CE-5 (chorus effect), Boss Flanger BF-3 (flanging effect); MXR Phase 90 (phaser effect) and Roger Mayer Octavia (sound an octave higher).

Electric Guitars were introduced in the United States in the 1930s. The vibrations of strings are converted into an electric signal, and directed through an amplifier to a loudspeaker.
The guitar in the photo is a Gibson Les Paul Standard, which was first produced in 1958 (the first Les Paul Guitar was the Goldtop launched in 1952). Les Pauls were solid bodied guitars introduced by Gibson following the success of the Fender Telecaster.

The first Hammond Organ was invented by Laurens Hammond in the 1930s. Until the 1970s they were electro-mechanical instruments. They contained tonewheels which rotated beneath electromagnetic pickups. More recently they have been replaced by Clonewheel Organs, electronic instruments which emulate the sound of the electromechanical tonewheel-based organs.
This is a Hammond B-3 (first introduced in 1955 and produced until 1974). One of the most portable Hammond organs, it can be heard on many notable recordings from R and B to Gospel to Jazz.
Electronic Organs are assigned the number 5 in the Hornbostel-Sachs classification of musical instruments ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornbostel-Sachs ), indicating:
5 = Electrophones. Sound is generated by electrical means.
