Macro Monday- Musical Instrument . Paint markings on this unique wind instrument developed by Indigenous Australians.
We're not a particularly musical household, but I did find this little bell, which belongs to my partner. There's a little sea horse on the handle, but I preferred the focus on this end (and it fits the theme better too, at least in my eyes).
I enjoyed the high key theme a while back, but didn't really master the technique. I thought I'd have another go at that for this challenge.
HMM Flickr - it's been a while for me!

Basket Rattle Details Inverted chosen as the cover photo for the group ! * BLUE BY YOU! ♣ Azul por Você! ♣ Blue par Vous! www.flickr.com/groups/bluebyyou/ (July 30, 2013)
The two little woven coir ones (left foreground) each contain several tiny metal jingle bells and there is little space within for the jingles to move. As a result, when shaken you hear several light metallic tings. The coir doesn't muffle the sound but I would say softens it slightly. All the other rattles contain river pebbles and have bottoms composed of dried gourd. The dried gourd bottom is hard and when struck by the pebbles has a crisp sound. When the pebbles hit the sides of the rattle the sound is soft and diminished. A good musician can roll the pebbles on the inner sides and create a lovely prolonged softer sound to contrast with the raspier harder sounds produced when shaken towards the gourd bottom. To the far left are a pair of midsize double rattles, each having a U shaped handle. (You can see them clearly in my other photo). In all cases, the quality of sound is dependent on the skill and knowledge of the percussionist.

The 9/12/23 Crazy Tuesday theme is Musical Instrument.
In 1951, my not-yet-wife Sammy wanted to take piano lessons. Unfortunately, her parents sent her to a fancy music school where she learned theory and all sorts of highfalutin' stuff that bored her to tears. All she wanted was to be able to play the popular songs of the time.
However, as part of her music schooling, she had to make a flute out of a length of bamboo, and here it is. And I could actually toot a tune out of it. Sort of....
For my Old Things album. An antique for sure, found in my parents attic long, long ago. It's a great dust collector! That long white horizontal line at the bottom of it is from the flash, not actually on the Zither.
Thanks, as always for viewing, faveing and commenting on my photos.

I love music and thought this would be a good one to show some instruments..

"In my opinion, the trombone is the true head of the family of wind instruments, which I have named the 'epic' one. It possesses nobility and grandeur to the highest degree; it has all the serious and powerful tones of sublime musical poetry, from religious, calm and imposing accents to savage, orgiastic outburst. Directed by the will of the master, the trombones can chant like a choir of priests, threaten, utter gloomy sighs, a mournful lament, or a bright hymn of glory; they can break forth into awe-inspiring cries and awaken the dead or doom the living with their fearful voices."
- Hector Berlioz

The #MacroMondays #Musicalinstrument theme
As Maestro Berlioz observes, the trombone is among the most versatile of instruments, found in symphony orchestras, brass bands, concert bands, military bands, all sorts of jazz outfits, in horn sections behind world renowned performers, and they are often the lead instrument in reggae.
This is my tenor trombone which I played in various genres, but especially big band jazz. Its tubing, once a gleaming brass lacquer, now bears the wear associated with an instrument which was heavily used. Many professional brass players don't bother with lacquer at all, saying that it affects the tone of the instrument. I wasn't in their league and am happy with an instrument which looks like it's had a life.
The photo captures mainly the mouthpiece, but also part of the slide assembly into which that fits, and the tubing leading to the bell which is in the bokeh. It was taken using a 12mm extension tube, the 'bone precariously balanced on a work surface. Processing included adding texture to tease out the wear apparent on the tubing, a little grain and a vignette.
