a mackerel tin thumb piano I made for my good friend peter emmett for his 60th birthday...
wandering the streets, as I do, I've occasionally been finding strips of spring steel, perfect for making these small instruments - I think they fall off the council street-sweeper machines...
this instrument is the first I've made using these strips - I went out to 'test' the streets, to see if they'd deliver me what I needed to make this gift - and found two strips, one after another, about two blocks away...
the soundbox is a mackerel tin, the soundboard cut from a cigar box lid I got from a local tobacconist and the fittings I made from brass bought at a hobby store...
a short video sample of this one being played is here - vimeo.com/8834393

James W. Queen (1811–1890), the son of Irish immigrants, was apprenticed to John McAllister & Son of Philadelphia, to learn "the art, trade, and mystery of a merchant." Queen later worked for McAllister, and as a partner in the McAllister firm, before striking out on his own in 1853, and advertising in the 1854 Philadelphia city directory as "Optician, Importer and Dealer in Optical, Mathematical and Philosophical Instruments." At his death, Queen was eulogized as a poor boy whose rise "to a standing among the staunchest business men of his generation" represented "the triumph of force, industry, and skill over outward circumstances." James W. Queen & Co., as the firm became in 1859, was soon the largest and most successful purveyor of scientific apparatus in the United States. It could not, however, recover from the depression of the early 1890s. Nor could it compete with the more specialized instrument companies that were coming into being, several of which had been established by men who had learned the instrument trade by working for Queen. It was incorporated as Queen & Co. in 1896, became the Queen-Gray Company in 1912, and the Gray Instrument Company in 1926.

There's a strobe light flashing on this drum set in the window at the Chicago Store in downtown Tucson. It changes colors every second or so which is how I got this variety of colors.
The Chicago Store sells musical instruments and sheet music. It was once the J.C. Penny's but you have to be really old to remember that fact as it has been the Chicago Store for decades.

Bok Tower Gardens has to be the best of the places we visited on the Florida portion our trip. It was really the peak time there…
The Gardens
Bok Tower Gardens boasts one of the greatest works of famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. The meandering, historic landscape garden was designed to be a contemplative and informal woodland setting offering a series of romantic recesses and tranquil resting spots, picturesque vistas and breathtaking views of the Singing Tower. Acres of ferns, palms, oaks and pines fashion a lush backdrop for flowering foliage and the spectacular seasonal color of azaleas, camellias and magnolias (a highlight of our spring peak bloom season) showcasing an ever-changing work of art.
The Singing Tower carillon
The carillon at Bok Tower Gardens has 60 bells ranging in weight from 16 pounds to nearly 12 tons. The instrument was designed and built in 1928 by John Taylor Bellfoundry, Ltd. of Loughborough, England which still makes bells today. There are four carillons in Florida, approximately 200 in North America and 600 throughout the world.
The Singing Tower
Looking up at the 205-foot neo-Gothic and art deco Singing Tower carillon is an experience like no other. Designed by famed architect Milton B. Medary and ornately crafted by noted stone sculptor Lee Lawrie, the Tower houses one of the world’s finest carillons.
