From the left hand side to the back then front right, these are the Thai classical instruments these children use:
Saw Sam Sai (Three Stringed fiddle) ( ซอสามสาย ) – it is a traditional bowed string instrument made from a special type of coconut covered on one end with animal skin. Musician playing Saw Sam Sai’ mostly sits at the front row of the ensemble.
Thai Ramwong Drum ( รำวง )– It is super heavty solid carved shell with beautiful wood grain and nice lacquer finish. It is easily tunable without tools by adjusting the ropes.
Ching ( ฉิ่ง ) and Chap ( ฉาบ ) – this is the tupe of metal percussion looks like mini cymbals made of an alloy. Ching comes in pair of bowl shape cymbals. Chap is more flat and thinner.
Ja Khe ( จะเข้ ) – is made of wood in a stylised alligator shape with three strings laying along the instruments. Two strings are made of silk yarn or nylon and the other strings is made of brass, It has raised frets made of bamboo, which are affixed to the fretboard. The body is made of soft wood trees such as jackfruit.
Traditional music can help people understand a country better. It represents the history, traditions and thoughts of a community you are in.
As for yourself, of course, either you are playing or learning to play any instruments can be seen as very therapeutic. It can raise your mood and make you calm or relaxed.
Have a wonderful day ahead!

Today he's wearing clothes appropriate for jazz! Flames shoot out the top of the instrument as he plays (you can only see a glimpse in this image) but I was more interested in catching his audience.
Lovely instrument

Mess- und Regeltechniken waren immer schon von hoher Bedeutung in der Schwerindustrie. Hier zu sehen sind alte Thermo- und Manometer in der Gebläsehalle der Henrichshütte Hattingen, heute ein Museum.

Techniques of measurement had always been very important in the heavy industry. Here you can see old thermometers and manometers in the blower hall of the blast furnace plant Henrichshütte Hattingen, Germany.

This is a traditional Romanian musical instrument called a Bucium. Made of a very light wood, it is similar to an alphorn, and was used by shepherds for communication in the mountains, We purchased it in 2014 when we visited this wonderful country: a very bumpy road took us to an isolated farm house where this, and other traditional crafts were still practiced by the owners.
Stringed instrument. Has eight strings, but the Laowa lens focuses so closely that I went with this. You might be able to see a blur of the next string, but not the peg.
Inspired by MacroMondays. But not satisfied with this. Might do another…
In January 2022 I asked a Flickr support hero to remove my accounts from the Explore algorithm. Peace. I hope you know that when I comment I mean it sincerely—not to achieve the Explore algorithm requirement.
In Montreal they have several jazz bands entertaining the crowds in the afternoon, before the stage acts starts. This year, Montreal based 'The Early Jazz Band' was one group I managed to see and really enjoyed. 'The Early Jazz' takes their repertoire from the New Orleans swing of the 1920s, 1930s-1940s. Pure fun. I seen them first time, but one of Toronto's saxophone/clarinet musician, who comes to Montreal every year same time as me, played with few of them in Toronto. Jean-Sébastien Leblanc - clarinet is their leader and Dominic Desjardins - banjo/vocals is core member of the group. Jonathan Gagné – drum and Mathieu Roberge – double bass performed on this day.

At 92, route des dunes - Manche - Normandy - France - Europe
Ces cabanes se dressent fièrement sur la crête des dunes de Gouville, bien alignées et aux toits multicolores. Elles représentent un lieu idéal pour les photographes et peintres locaux et sont aussi l'emblème de la station balnéaire de Gouville-su-Mer. Implantées par les premiers touristes il y a près d'un siècle, ces cabines étaient un petit lieu où les touristes qui logeaient à l'hôtel pouvaient se changer et manger un morceau. Les touristes y entreposaient des jeux de plage, des vêtements, des instruments de pêche et servaient d'abri en cas de mauvais temps. Durant la seconde guerre mondiale, bon nombre de cabines disparurent détruites par l'armée d'occupation. Dès la liberté retrouvée, les cabines refleurirent petit à petit sur la dune. Dans les années 80, plus de cent cabines étaient implantées dans la dune mais la loi littoral vint mettre fin à leur implantation.

These cabins stand proudly on the crest of the Gouville dunes, well aligned and with multicolored roofs. They represent an ideal place for local photographers and painters and are also the emblem of the seaside resort of Gouville-su-Mer. Set up by the first tourists almost a century ago, these cabins were a small place where tourists staying at the hotel could change clothes and grab a bite to eat. Tourists stored beach games, clothing, fishing instruments there and served as shelter in case of bad weather. During the Second World War, many cabins were destroyed by the occupying army. As soon as freedom was regained, the cabins began to flourish again little by little on the dune. In the 1980s, more than a hundred cabins were located in the dune but the coastal law put an end to their establishment.

at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. It looked a bit like a violin, but it has 6 strings, and is absolutely beautiful! AS you can tell, I don't know much about these things...and there was not enough time to find the appropriate information as we had to get to a Carol Service.....
