This particular bird has a very unusual appearance because it has a visible red throat air sac that can inflate and deflate. Pink/red throat pouch or air-sac, hanging down the foreneck, acts as a resonator and allows the bird to produce guttural sounds. Marabou eats mainly carrion, scraps and faeces but will opportunistically eat almost any animal matter it can swallow.

This is a picture from the bridge of my Resonator guitar. I have been using it for some slide parts in some new songs of mine. It sounds a bit like a Dobro if anyone knows what that is.
Happy Macro Mondays

That is correct, I am a drummer. Someday are made for this. There are times when I just want to look at all my guitars. Okay, look at all my electric guitars.
Happy Whatever Day
The crazy effect of the Helios lens on extension tubes. The lighting is the sun reflection off the surface of of the metallic top of a resonator guitar.
I thought I would have things feel different.
These are my five Cherry Red Guitars. First one is an Epiphone Dot. 2nd one a Fender Telecaster with a Flame Maple Top. 3rd one is Jay Turser Resonator guitar. 4th one is a favourite of mine, a 2015 Gibson Les Pail Double Cutaway guitar. (it has a wide neck) The last one is a Epiphone Les Paul (Vintage Edition). You might also note there is a Yamaha keyboard at the back and an acoustic. There are more lovely things in my basement.
Happy Thursday
The marimba (/məˈrɪmbə/) is a musical instrument in the percussion family that consists of wooden bars that are struck by mallets. Below each bar is a resonator pipe that amplifies particular harmonics of its sound. The timbre of the marimba is warmer, deeper, more resonant, more pure and lower range.
The marimba originated in southern Mexico, it is an instrument similar to the African balafon, then the marimba became a common instrument in Africa, Central and North America.
The marimba is used as a solo instrument, or in ensembles like orchestras, marching bands, percussion ensembles, brass and concert bands, and other traditional ensembles.
It is used mainly in academic music, most often as a solo instrument or for playing in an ensemble. Also found in American popular music. Rarely found in orchestral music due to its relatively quiet sound and somewhat specific timbre.

I dusted off the old resonator guitar today and tuned it up and played a bit of slide blues, rusty as I am after not playing for several months it sounded pretty good.
February in Maine is a good month for the blues. (:>)
I have eight electric guitars altogether. Two acoustics also and a cigar box guitar. I have been working for weeks preparing my basement as a small recording studio. Drums are to the left. I just received a new one yesterday from Florida. It is green. I will show it later.
I am awaiting sentencing. (wife + guitars)
Oh well.
Happy Whatever you wish day.

"A resonator guitar or resophonic guitar (often generically called a "Dobro"[1]) is an acoustic guitar that produces sound by conducting string vibrations through the bridge to one or more spun metal cones (resonators), instead of to the guitar's sounding board (top). Resonator guitars were originally designed to be louder than regular acoustic guitars, which were overwhelmed by horns and percussion instruments in dance orchestras. They became prized for their distinctive tone, and found life with bluegrass music and the blues well after electric amplification solved the problem of inadequate volume." -Wikipedia
Williamson’s Sapsucker is a woodpecker species of western North America that is only found at low density in Canada, and then primarily in the province of British Columbia. So it is always a treat to see one “north of the 49th,” whether a male with its bold colours (as in this image) or a female with brown head and barred back. This bird was using the small, broken branch as a resonator for its drumming; a close look at the photo shows the cavity made by repeated strikes of its bill. This sighting was near the town of Princeton in southern BC.

The Marabou Stork is also known as the “nightmare bird” or “undertaker bird".
This species is a carnivore. Most of their food comes from scavenging by flying high above the ground. They will feed upon most varieties of live and dead prey including lizards, frogs, insects, rats, mice, birds, fish, crocodile eggs, young crocodiles and snakes.
They are attracted to grass fires, marching in front of the advancing fire grabbing animals that are fleeing.
The Marabou stork has a long, reddish pouch hanging from its neck. This pouch is used in courtship rituals. The naked 18-inch inflatable pink sac is particularly conspicuous during the breeding season. It connects directly to the left nostril and acts as a resonator allowing the bird to produce a guttural croaking. While usually silent, the Marabou Stork will also emit a sound caused by beak clacking if it feels threatened.
I love them!!

We recently visited friends in Prescott, Arizona, and while we were there we documented some of their musical instruments. This is a resonator ukulele which I though was a beautiful subject and challenging to light.
Lighting. We lit this using two bare yongnuo strobes in manual mode which were on either side of and pointed at the white ceiling directly over the Ukulele. The bounced light provided the illumination for the picture. The strobes and our cameras were triggered with Yongnuo RF-603N triggers.
One of the things I was looking forward to in Portugal was the possibility of seeing storks. They can be seen in towns, on roofs and chimneys and in fields along the roads. They might be common there but here in Canada, we don't have any. This photo was captured along the road. I had stopped to take some pictures when I spotted a few storks in a field and in nests.
In a nest was this one couple. At some point they started to make noise with their beaks. The birds make these sounds by rapidly opening and closing their beaks so that a knocking sound is made each time the beak closes. The clattering is amplified by its throat pouch, which acts as a resonator. It is used in a variety of social interactions. In this case, it was a prelude to copulation. After a minute or two of beak clattering, the male got up, flew over the female and then mounted her. I was really happy to have been able to witness that scene.
Enjoy your week-end.
Bon week-end.

This chap was emanating some wonderful sounds at Manchester Piccadilly! (The instrument is a Kora! - used extensively in West Africa!)
A kora is a Mandinka harp built from a large calabash cut in half and covered with cow skin to make a resonator with a long hardwood neck. The skin is supported by two handles that run under it. It supports a notched double free-standing bridge. It doesn't fit into any one category of musical instruments, but rather several, and must be classified as a "double-bridge-harp-lute". The strings run in two divided ranks, making it a double harp. They do not end in a soundboard but are held in notches on a bridge, making it a bridge harp. They originate from a string arm or neck and cross a bridge directly supported by a resonating chamber, making it a lute too. Wiki.

I love the classic lines of this tricone resonator guitar. I don't even play any more, but I'd love to have one of these, just to look at!
Have a great Monday, everyone!!
Orangutans are highly intelligent, reddish-haired great apes known for their solitary nature and mostly arboreal lifestyle in the rainforests of Sumatra and Borneo. The name "orangutan" comes from the Malay words orang ("person") and hutan ("forest"), translating to "person of the forest".
Physical characteristics
Colouration and hair: They are covered in long, shaggy reddish-orange hair that can turn darker maroon or chocolate with age. Their skin is gray-black.
Size and strength: Orangutans are the largest arboreal (tree-dwelling) mammals. They have a significant size difference between males and females, a trait known as sexual dimorphism.
Adult males can weigh up to 200 pounds (90 kg) and have an impressive arm span of up to 7 feet (2 meters).
Adult females typically weigh between 80 and 120 pounds (36–54 kg).
Their strength is estimated to be five to seven times that of a human.
Adaptations for tree-dwelling:
Long arms: Their long arms and rotating hip joints allow them to climb and swing through the canopy with ease.
Hook-like hands and feet: They have long, curved fingers and toes, as well as opposable thumbs and big toes, to provide a strong, hook-like grip on branches.
Mature male features: Mature males develop large, fleshy cheek pads (flanges) and a throat sac, which acts as a resonator to amplify their loud "long calls". These features are a sign of dominance and help attract females. A unique biological phenomenon exists where some sexually mature males may delay the development of these features until a dominant flanged male is no longer present.
Behaviour and ecology
Arboreal lifestyle: Orangutans spend over 90% of their lives in the forest canopy, rarely descending to the ground. They build a new, carefully constructed nest of branches and leaves every night for sleeping and resting.
Diet: They are primarily fruit-eaters, which makes up about 60% of their diet, but also consume leaves, bark, insects, and eggs. They are critical seed dispersers in their ecosystem, earning them the nickname "gardeners of the forest".
Social structure: Orangutans are the most solitary of the great apes. Adult males are particularly solitary, while the strongest social bonds are between mothers and their offspring, which can last for up to eight years.
Intelligence: They are one of the most intelligent primates, with demonstrated abilities in tool use, problem-solving, and self-awareness. Wild orangutans have been observed using sticks to fish for insects and leaves as umbrellas or seat cushions.
Reproduction: Females have the longest interbirth interval of any mammal, giving birth only once every seven to nine years. This results in slow population growth, making them particularly vulnerable to threats.
Species and conservation status
There are three recognised species of orangutan, all of which are critically endangered:
Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus): This species is found on the island of Borneo. Bornean orangutans are more robust and have darker hair than their Sumatran counterparts. They are also more likely to travel on the ground.
Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii): Found only in northern Sumatra, this species is more slender with longer, paler hair and stronger social bonds. They are almost exclusively arboreal, which is an adaptation to avoid predators like the Sumatran tiger.
Tapanuli orangutan (Pongo tapanuliensis): Identified as a distinct species in 2017, it is the most endangered great ape, with fewer than 800 individuals in the wild in the Batang Toru forest of Sumatra.
The primary threats to all orangutan species are habitat loss and fragmentation due to illegal logging, forest fires, and the conversion of rainforests to palm oil plantations. They are also threatened by poaching and the illegal pet trade.

Simply Tire, Allen (ceo) and myself go back many years, so whenever both of us get a free moment away from this crazy world, we take that opportunity. On a day off from work for us both, while Allen ran around the city taking care of his business, It was nice to the have the shop to myself, nothing like a nice relaxed session/atmosphere. Hope you guys enjoy the pics of Simply Tires '09 Lexus is-f. Simply Tweek'd with, Tanabe Intake, custom cat/resonator delete. & of course we cannot forget the TEIN Comfort Coilovers.

Detail of the working parts of a Mbria (pronounced m-BEER-ra in American English). For the Looking Close... On Friday group, topic: music. Happy Friday!
The Mbria is an African musical instrument, traditional to the Shona people of Zimbabwe. It consists of a wooden board (often fitted with a resonator) with attached staggered metal tines, played by holding the instrument in the hands and plucking the tines with the thumbs (at minimum), the right forefinger (most mbira), and sometimes the left forefinger. Musicologists classify it as a lamellaphone, part of the plucked idiophone family of musical instruments. In Eastern and Southern Africa, there are many kinds of mbira, often accompanied by the hosho, a percussion instrument. It is often an important instrument played at religious ceremonies, weddings, and other social gatherings. --- Courtesy Wikipedia.
