This metal sculpture was still in process as I walked by the Dale Evers Studio in downtown Paso Robles in December 2019. The statue is an interesting way to recycle musical instruments. This photo shows the entire sculpture as far as it has progressed. The companion photo shows some of the details up closer.

The Flageolet is a member of the same fipple flute family as the Recorder with a different number of tone holes and a different scale. The instrument was popular in Europe between the 16th and 19th centuries. There are two main forms of the instrument: the French with four finger holes on the front and two thumb holes on the back; and the English with six finger holes on the front and sometimes a single thumb hole on the back.
These instruments are English Flageolets. From left to right they were made in 1821-31 (by William Bainbridge of London), 1832-46 (by Keith Prowse and Co of London), circa 1840 (by John Simpspn of London), and circa 1860 (by D'Almaine & Co of London).
Flageolets are assigned the number 421.221.12 in the Hornbostel-Sachs classification of musical instruments ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornbostel-Sachs ), indicating:
4 = Aerophones. Sound is primarily produced by vibrating air. The instrument itself does not vibrate, and there are no vibrating strings or membranes.
42 = Non-Free Aerophones. The vibrating air is contained within the instrument.
421 = Edge-Blown Flutes. A narrow stream of air is directed against an edge.
421.2 = Flutes with a Duct. A narrow duct directs the air-stream against the sharp edge of a lateral orifice.
421.22 = Flutes with an Internal Duct. The duct is inside the tube.
421.221. = Single Flutes with an Internal Duct.
421.221.1 = Open Flutes with an Internal Duct.
421.221.12 = With Fingerholes.

"The most influential jazz musician of the late 20th century, one of the greatest saxophonists of all time, and the pioneer of jazz without limits." Wikipedia.
To me, simply, and without exception, the greatest jazz musician of all time.
Mr John Coltrane.
(It was rumoured he was in talks with Jimi Hendrex to collaborate together to make music, before Trane died, aged only 40 in 1967. Can you imagine the raw talent that would come out of that studio?)
I love this image, and took it from the front cover of "Blue Trane", which is one of the greatest jazz albums of all time, and made some alterations, added different colours, and techniques to create a poster.
Whilst I could have posted a link to "Blue Trane", I decided to link to "Love Supreme", which is probably John Coltrane's greatest album, certainly one of the greatest jazz albums of all time, and possibly one of THE greatest albums in any genre.
So, listen to John Coltrane, "A Love Supreme": youtu.be/clC6cgoh1sU
Not for the novice jazz listener.

The Oboe (then known as a Hautbois) developed in the 17th century, from an older instrument the Shawm. In time it became narrower and more keys were added. It is a double reed instrument with two pieces of cane vibrating against each other. The keys are finger operated levers used to open or close tone holes, thereby shortening or lengthening the resonating tube of the instrument.
This instrument was made around 1730 by Giovanni Maria Anciuti in Milan, Italy. It is carved from ivory and the bell is decorated with six dancing female figures. There are three brass keys.
Oboes are assigned the number 422.112-71 in the Hornbostel-Sachs classification of musical instruments ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornbostel-Sachs ), indicating:
4 = Aerophones. Sound is primarily produced by vibrating air. The instrument itself does not vibrate, and there are no vibrating strings or membranes.
42 = Non-free aerophones. The vibrating air is contained within the instrument.
422 = Reed Instruments. The player's breath is directed against a lamella or pair of lamellae which periodically interrupt the airflow and cause the air to be set in motion.
422.1 = Double reed instruments or Oboes. There are two lamellae which beat against one another.
422.11 = Single Oboes [as opposed to sets of Oboes].
422.112 = With conical bore.
422.112-71 = With Keys.
