I was looking back thru old files and ran across this photo of an electronic cello. This instrument is very unique in design as it is nothing more than a frame. Funny thing is I never heard it played.
Das Sousaphon oder Sousafon [ˌzuːzaˈfoːn] ist eine Form der Tuba, die in den 1890er Jahren auf Initiative des amerikanischen Komponisten John Philip Sousa und in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Instrumentenbauer J. W. Pepper aus Philadelphia entwickelt und zum Dank nach Sousa benannt wurde. Das älteste bekannte Sousaphon stammt von 1893. Pepper baute ein Instrument, dessen Trichter man für ein Konzert nach oben ausrichten konnte und zum Marschieren nach vorne. Andere Firmen bauten schnell ihre eigenen Versionen und der Instrumentenbauer C. G. Conn stellte ein Sousaphon her, das von Sousa und seiner Kapelle bevorzugt wurde.[1]

Pepper built an instrument whose funnel could be pointed upwards for a concert and forwards for marching. Other companies quickly built their own versions, and the instrument maker C. G. Conn made a sousaphone that was favored by Sousa and his band.[1]

Saxophone for Members Choice-Musical Instruments.
A 3inch section on both sides of a vintage saxophone. I gave it a soft focus to give the cabaret/ nightclub vibe. Found at a garage sale. It does not work but I like anyway. Happy week and HMM !
I have tickets to a Charles Lloyd Concert at the Musical Instrument Museum. I am a member. I wanted to familiarize myself with the Museum before the concert so I toured it. It is an incredible treasure in my backyard. A target rich environment for photographers.
I believe the sign read:
Ud (plucked lute)
Damascus, Syria, 1970
Wood, plastic, nylon
Garabed der Bedrossian, maker
Developed by Arabs who were inspired
by Persion lutes of the period, the ud
emerged by the seventh century and
remains popular throughout the Middle
East today.
MIM began with a vision to create a musical instrument museum that would be truly global. Realizing most musical museums featured historic, primarily Western classical instruments, MIM’s founder Bob Ulrich (then CEO of Target Corporation) was inspired to develop a new kind of museum that would focus on the kind of instruments played every day by people worldwide. A focus on the guest experience shaped every aspect of the museum’s development. From the beginning, our goal has been to deliver a musical experience that is enriching, inspiring, interesting, and fun.
Today, MIM has a collection of more than 7,500 instruments from more than 200 world countries and territories. The galleries reflect the rich diversity and history of many world cultures. But music and instruments also show us what we have in common—a thought powerfully expressed in our motto, music is the language of the soul.
MIM’s immersive exhibits foster an appreciation of diverse cultures and the craftsmanship and traditions of instrument makers from the past to the present. A visit to MIM is also about experiencing the sensory nature of music and how it affects our emotions. Through state-of-the-art, interactive media, guests can see the instruments, hear their sounds, and observe them being played in their original contexts.

Die Laute ist ein Zupfinstrument mit Korpus und angesetztem Hals sowie mit gleichlaufend zur Instrumentendecke verlaufenden Saiten. Als Laute im engeren Sinn bezeichnet man die aus der arabischen Kurzhalslaute Oud entstandene europäische Laute.
The lute is a plucked instrument with a body and an attached neck as well as strings that run parallel to the top of the instrument. The term lute in the narrower sense refers to the European lute that emerged from the Arabic short-necked lute Oud.
As I walked up Glastonbury Tor I saw Rob, sitting at the top, playing his guitar. When I reached him he looked like he was about to go. He was putting the instrument into its case. He smiled as I approached. I took this as a good sign. Rob readily agreed when I asked if I might take his photo for my strangers project. I sat down next to him and we chatted for a bit.
I asked if Rob was a local. “I am now!” he said. Rob and his family moved to Glastonbury last week! It had been their dream and the move had taken them about 2 years.
Rob is a musician. He tutors and produces music. He is looking forward to setting up a studio in their new house. At present there are still boxes to unpack and they have to decide which room will become the studio before Rob can work out any soundproofing requirements.
Thank you Rob for putting off your breakfast for a few minutes to chat with me. It was great to meet you. Best wishes for you and your family in your new home.

Eighth of my 12 music theme series. Life is like the harp strings, if it is strung too tight it won't play, if it is strung too loose it hangs, the tension that produces the beautiful sound lies in the middle . - Gautama Buddha
A very simple Photograph but i loved the look on their faces as they sat once the music stopped.A striking contradiction between when they are playing the instrument with Pomp and when they are done playing it waiting for the next job
I meant to have my granddaughter pose with her trumpet while we were in Phoenix. I remembered that when we were several hundred miles down the road. So instead I went to our neighborhood clubhouse for the piano as soon as we reached home. Considered trying my friend who has an accordion but after a 1,200 mile road trip, I conceded!

I found this river a few nights ago, I've driven past it many times but somehow I've never noticed the waterfalls. This isn't the only one, there are many waterfalls there, each with its own look and sound. Just above this one there is a tall waterfall which proved difficult to photograph, the spray from it gave a nice drop-effect on every shot I took there.
