Another chilly day here in southern Ontario but I will send this one out to my lovely Flickeroos. There will be plenty of frosty pictures later.
I bought another guitar today, sounds fairly cool. Here is what it looks like.

Happy Fence Friday
My friend, BillyZ, is a fine guitar player who has accumulated a lot of cool guitars over the years. On a recent visit with Bill, he and I decided to photograph some of his guitars as an exercise in lighting. This gorgeous National Resonator was a challenge to light because it is so reflective. Fortunately for us, a friend of his who is a professional photographer happened to drop by and suggested a different way of lighting, which is what we ended up using for all of our guitar shots. Down below in the first comments is a picture of the lighting setup that his friend had suggested. The little kicker light off to the left was our idea.
Lighting stuff: The main lights were two bare Yongnuo strobes, on either side of the guitar, bounced off the the white ceiling over the guitar. We also bounced a third light off of a piece white board at camera left to add some soft fill and highlights on that side of the guitar.. The strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. We took a bunch of test shots, and adjusted the lights until we got a look that we liked.
Dutch bluesman Bo Brocken (stage name: Big Bo) plays his Blues from the heart and soul. He has been around for quite a while now, touring Europe and the world for almost 30 years, playing his traditional style Blues. Performing as a one-man-band, using a full foot-operated drum set, acoustic and electric guitars, resonator guitars and Cigar Box Guitars, he plays traditional blues in Delta, Piedmont, Misissippi Hills and Ragtime style. He definately has a way of doing it. In his own high-handed style, he pays tribute to musicians like Robert Johnson, Skip James, Muddy Waters, Brownie McGhee, Charley Patton, Blind Willie McTell and many others, back from the old days when the Blues was born and he does it in a very convincing and genuine way.

According to Pedro's biography "the electric and contrabass, resonator guitar, lapsteel, Puerto Rican cuatro and electric slide guitar are among the many instruments he incorporates into the creation of the "Psychotropic" sound. This new genre is a blend of Folk, Ragtime, Jazz, Delta Blues, Country, Rock 'n' Roll, Latin and Caribbean music." He has been a member of bands such as Dicky Betts & Great Southern, Brethren of the Coast, Lotus Fire, and Devon Allman's Honey Tribe. Photo taken at the Hoosier Bar and Grill in Osprey, Florida.

ready for our blues and country events - resonator guitars modelled on the 1937 national steel as played by mark knopfler and crafted by our guitarist/ luthier sue
one last pic of ira gwin and his fabulous resonator guitar at mrs. orcutt's house.
this instrument has the most marvelous sound. mark knopfler of dire straits used it to great effect in Romeo and Juliet.
it has a bluegrass sound that i love. plus it is so beautiful, like an art piece.
traditional black and white for a traditional composition.
...in Rochdale was a bit of a damp experience this year. The headline bands included The Fratellis, The Resonators, Alex Cornish and The Twisted Dolls.
Ah, a new day. I woke up this morning, went down to the water with one of my guitars, picked a few tunes and enjoyed the peacefulness (along with the birds, fish and frogs who were all playing their music too).
I want to say thank you to all of my great flickr friends for all of your comments and encouragement lately. I really appreciate it.

I’ve photographed this guy before, but not with this beautiful resonator guitar. I believe it is similar to the famous guitar played by Mark Knopfler in the ‘Brothers In Arms’ album.
Pitt Street Mall, Sydney
October, 2018
Tomorrow's going to be a busy day, so here's my Macro Mondays for the theme of Sound.
Sadly I don't have a cello any more, otherwise I would have tried to reprise an early camera club set subject entry on the same topic. In fact the only musical instrument in the house (apart from a drum kit in the attic) is a large sized recorder hidden away somewhere. It's size did rather put me off trying to find it.
I then thought of this stethoscope purchased from Eschmann in Worthing in 1981, the first year of my physio career.
I just had to pretend to have a listen to my heart, but apologise for the lack of clothing. This is something I am rather used to having done to me, as I normally have to go for an annual check-up in Cardiology at St Barts in London. Not this year though...
Wikipedia says:
The stethoscope is an acoustic medical device for auscultation, or listening to internal sounds of an animal or human body. It typically has a small disc-shaped resonator that is placed against the skin, and one or two tubes connected to two earpieces. A stethoscope can be used to listen to the sounds made by the heart, lungs or intestines, as well as blood flow in arteries and veins. In combination with a manual sphygmomanometer, it is commonly used when measuring blood pressure.
How Cyborg Spoodles Shape the Space Tourism Experience
Space tourism has evolved significantly. It was no longer just about the destinations, such as the swirling vistas of gas giants or the fractured beauty of asteroid fields. Now, it focuses on the journey and the delicate balance between mind and machine. The Cyborg Spoodle, a bio-engineered companion, was crucial in projecting experience.
What our travellers held were not pets in the traditional sense. They weren’t physically real. Instead, they were psychic resonators with advanced AI capable of intertwining with human neural pathways, creating personalised emotional landscapes. Loneliness in the vastness of space transformed into a shared sense of serenity. Anxiety before a risky maneuver melted away, giving way to calm focus. The virtual spoodles acted as an unseen imprint guiding the traveller's psyche, providing a gentle current in the ocean of space. Our travellers could feel their love, touch, smell and warmth.

Couple of White Storks - Ciconia ciconia - standing in their nest and noisy bill-clattering - Dombes, France
The adult White Stork's main sound is noisy bill-clattering, which has been likened to distant machine gun fire. The bird makes these sounds by rapidly opening and closing its beak so that a knocking sound is made each time its beak closes. The clattering is amplified by its throat pouch, which acts as a resonator.
The bill-clattering is often part of a greeting ceremony between adults at the nest where one or both birds may throw their heads backwards until the bill is upside-down and almost touching their backs. Bill-clattering is sometimes performed unforgettably by large flocks of migrant birds especially when they are about to tumble out of the sky in search of a roosting site.
In many parts of Europe the White stork is an unmissable bird, attending to its huge nests on the rooftops and telegraph poles of numerous towns and villages. It is unmistakable, with a white body, mostly black wings, red legs and a long red bill.
Breeds in towns and villages on the tops of roofs and poles or, in colonies, in trees in open parkland. Feeds mostly in fields and meadows.
Brilliant bluesartist!

Work in progress but wanted to post and leave it for 24 hours before further processing.
Taken in Southend High street under the bridge that cuts across the street. The instrument he was playing is actually chrome and is called a Resonator and produces sound perfect for blues or bluegrass bands. I watched and studied the scene of this street performer before I picked my angle carefully so that the guitar picked up the light and colours from the shop signs behind me to my left which gave some amazing reflections.
This is a picture of the lighting setup that BillyZ and I used to light some of his guitars. The image that we obtained from this can be seen down below in the first comment.
The lighting that we used for the guitars was from two bare Yongnuo strobes bounced off of the ceiling above the guitar and a third Yongnuo flash bounced off of a white board at camera left. For the setup shot I put a Yongnuo RF0603N on my camera so that I could trigger the lights and see the setup. Every so often, I'll post a setup shot because people seem to find them helpful.

The marimba is a percussive musical instrument that has enjoyed a rich history in a diverse range of musical styles, from classical to rock. In Western culture, it has lived in the shadows of a similar instrument, the xylophone.
According to Vida Chenowith, a noted ethnomusicologist and classical marimbist, the first chromatic marimba was made by Jose Chaequin and Manuel Lopez. It was introduced to the public in Guatemala in 1874, and it was first introduced to North America in 1908.
Types of marimbas include pentatonic, diatonic and chromatic, the latter of which is tuned like a piano. Marimbas range in size from 25 feet to 50 feet long. The width ranges from 2 1/2 feet to 5 1/2 feet. Modern marimbas are constructed using rosewood for the bars and aluminum or brass for the resonators. The most common diameter of the shaft of the mallets is around 5/16 inch. The material at the end of the shaft is usually rubber wrapped with yarn.
Famous artists in popular music who have used marimbas in their work include the Rolling Stones Under My Thumb) and Elton John (Island Girl)
Musée d’Orsay - a Palais des beaux arts
“In the centre of Paris on the banks of the Seine, opposite the Tuileries Gardens, the museum was installed in the former Orsay railway station, built for the Universal Exhibition of 1900. So the building itself could be seen as the first "work of art" in the Musee d'Orsay, which displays collections of art from the period 1848 to 1914.
“The station is superb and looks like a Palais des beaux-arts..." wrote the painter Edouard Detaille in 1900. Eighty-six years later, his prophecy was fulfilled.
The transformation of the station into a museum was accomplished by ACT architecture group, made up of M. Bardon, M. Colboc and M. Philippon. Their project was chosen in 1979 out of six propositions, and would respect Laloux's architecture while nonetheless reinterpreting it according to its new function. The project highlighted the great hall, using it as the main artery of the visit, and transformed the magnificent glass awning into the museum's entrance.
The museum has been organised on three levels: on the ground floor, galleries are distributed on either side of the central nave, which is overlooked by the terraces of the median level, these in turn opening up into additional exhibition galleries. The top floor is installed above the lobby, which covers the length of the Quai, and continues into the highest elevations of the former hotel, over the rue de la Légion d'Honneur (formerly rue de Bellechasse).
The museum's specific exhibition spaces and different facilities are distributed throughout the three levels: the pavilion Amont, the glass walkway of the former station's western pinion, the museum restaurant (installed in the dining hall of the former hotel), the Café des Hauteurs, the bookshop and the auditorium.
The interior design of the museum was first conceived by a team of scenographers and architects directed by Gae Aulenti. With Italo Rota, Piero Castiglioni (lighting consultant) and Richard Peduzzi (architectural consultant), Gae Aulenti succeeded in creating a unified presentation within a large diversity of volumes, in particular by using a homogeneous stone covering for the floors and walls. This installation brings the large space of the former station down to size. Both natural and artificial light is used, in order to create the variations in intensity needed for the different works of art presented.”

Sentient Combat Automaton specializing in close quarters brawling. Diceros Bolide is the most aggressive and savage member of the Vanguard. It uses the seismic resonators on arms and legs to cause small earthquakes, staggering targets. It's morning star fists can read and return the resonant frequency of anything they contact, enabling Bolide to rend even the toughest armor. Bolide is also equipped with a small jump jet on its back to compensate for its less agile frame. To calm it's aggressive nature, Bolide is often paired with calmer automatons such as Omen.
Build notes: Got another one of these guys. Believe it or not, this guy is nothing like the original concept that I was planning on using. He was originally going to be a ninja, then a sniper (a concept that became Omen). I came up with the idea of the resonator fists, and here we are. The resonator fist concept is something I've been wanting to do since 2016, back when I was making MRL mechs.
The actual build of this guy is just a taller variation of the frame I used on Salvo and Phantasm, though obviously the lower sections of the limbs are pretty different.
Like the other members of Vanguard, Diceros Bolide is named after an animal genus (a rhino).

The Kabuli Rubab (or Rabab) is found in Kashmir as well as Afghanistan. It is a different instrument from the Seni or Dhrupadi Rubab, popular in North India during the Mughal period, but now less common.
Rubabs are assigned the number 321.321-6 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 resonator’s 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
321.321 = Necked Bowl Lutes. Instrument with a resonator made from a bowl, either natural or carved.
321.321-6 = Strings vibrated by a plectrum.
Rory Gallagher Dublin National Stadium Dublin 29th January 1978, another unseen images from all those years back, original is an Kodak Ektachrome slide I have recently cleaned up. The guitar is a Resonator made in 1932, you can see Rory's sweat on the guitar. Massive following in Ireland and throughout Europe.
