A second entry into Round 2 of The Forge. If this looks rushed, that's because it is. :P I wanted to see whether I could keep up with the prodigious output of some of my co-competitors and, well, I can't. At least not really. But I did try.
This is the keyboard of a carillon. Every carillon keyboard looks different, with the shape of the batons really being the only constant, so I based this off of the carillon at Cal. I have seen that one in person, but it's been a while, and it's very difficult to find reference pictures of the full thing, so I really don't know how accurate this is.
Oh yeah, and the batons can move up and down. As they should.
(I didn't have enough 2x2 tiles in dark tan but was running out of time, hence the 2x2 tiles with one stud.)
Detail of the workings of a very old music box which plays 8 tunes. The dust etc is authentic - very difficult to access the works to clean. A larger image of the workings can be seen on my flickr site.
A young beautiful lady goes along the street on windy and snowy winter day. She studies her tablet PC to be on the right course. A good example of instrumental navigation in storm. Candid street photo or a portrait of the pretty young woman. May the happiness be with her.
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!

Take March 4, 2022 for musical instrument
A keen eyed Po-Matoran travels the island. With the help of a peculiar instrument, he captures the sights of Mata-Nui.

Quan tinc la sort de poder anar a un concert, a un bon concert, si puc intent demanar permís per treure alguna imatge. És la meva manera de poder fruir encara més de la música en directe i del moment.
Fa poc vaig poder anar a una concert a la casa de Cultura de les Bernardes de Salt i vaig fer el que em va fer sentir molt bé, fer fotos als grans músics que hi tocaven.
Un moment determinat van quedar la cantant i el pianista, els altres van sortir. Vaig aprofitar el moment per apropar-me a l'escenari i fer alguna imatge diferent, de detalls que m'agraden.
Cara a cara vaig veure uns dels instruments de vents que tocava un dels músics i vaig pensar que fer-ne un detall també era una manera de fer un petit homenatge al músic, a la música i al moment que estava vivint.
El resultat fou aquest, potser un altre estona us posi els músic i l'entrega que vam anar mostrant a cada instant.
Jo només és hi dic, moltes gràcies per fer-me disfrutar.

There are two wind instruments shown here. The Japanese Shakuhachi and an African Nyanga flute. Throughout world cultures flutes are among the oldest forms of ritual music and are deeply related to the link between breath and spirit.
The Nyanga flute is a form of pan pipe made up of bamboo cut to various lengths and tied together. Unlike the Shakuhachi (which we'll look at in a moment), this Nyanga flute is closed at the ends and the longer the bamboo the deeper the note. It is a beautiful instrument in that it can be picked up and played by the smallest child, but it is also played with great sophistication by the trained flautist.

The Shakuhachi on the other hand is one of the most difficult instruments to play, and requires a lifetime of dedicated training to master. Indeed the Japanese have a Grandmaster system. In Australia Riley Lee is the supreme master of the instrument. The reason for its difficulty is that the bamboo is open at both ends, so to even get a sound requires the absolute perfect positioning of the lips, the strength of breath and body posture. Anything less will result in - nothing!
My shakuhachi has one hole on the underside of the flute and four on the top. Looks simple enough, but I could live several lifetimes and never master the instrument or the traditional repertoire. Clearly it is an instrument closely related to Zen and it requires absolute dedication to discipline (both in technique and most importantly to "right breathing"). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakuhachi
My flute was made in Queensland by Noel Dowling of "Windelf's Handmade Bamboo Flutes" www.windelfflutes.com/
I mentioned Riley Lee before. He is one of the world's recognised Shakuhachi Grand Masters. That means he can play all the classical repertoire, but has also composed and plays many modern compositions. rileylee.net/
Here is a Riley Lee performance that takes your breath away (pardon the pun from someone who can barely get a breath out of his shakuhachi).

The launeddas (also called triple clarinet or triplepipe) is a typical Sardinian woodwind instrument made of three pipes. It is a polyphonic instrument, with one of the pipes functioning as a drone and the other two playing the melody in thirds and sixths.[1]
Predecessors of the launeddas can be traced back to approximately 2700 BCE in Egypt, where reed pipes were originally called ‘memet’.[1] During the Old Kingdom in Egypt (2778-2723 BCE), memets were depicted on the reliefs of seven tombs at Saqqarra, six tombs at Giza, and the pyramids of Queen Khentkaus.[2] The launeddas itself dates back to at least the eighth century BCE [3] and are still played today during religious ceremonies and dances (su ballu in Sardinian language).[4] Distinctively, they are played using extensive variations on a few melodic phrases, and a single song can last over an hour, producing some of the "most elemental and resonant (sounds) in European music".[4] Wikipedia
Nein, er ist es nicht .. aber er sieht ihm verdammt ähnlich!
Ich besitze einige Alben von "Children of Bodom" und höre einige Songs auch sehr gern.
Es sind weniger die Texte, mehr die Klänge der Gitarren ..
Alexi Laiho starb am 29. Dezember 2020 an den Folgen seines exzessiven Alkoholkonsums in Helsinki .. leider!
No, it's not him... but he looks a lot like him!
I own a few albums by "Children of Bodom" and I really like listening to some of the songs.
It's not so much the lyrics, but more the sounds of the guitars...
Alexi Laiho died on December 29, 2020 from the consequences of his excessive alcohol consumption in Helsinki... unfortunately!
I had a couple of things to choose from in my Still Life Lesson and I decided to go with an instrument. This isn't my instrument (it's my little sister's) but I do practice with it.
I sound horrible! My siblings say I sound like I'm killing something when I play. :P
I used HB pencils H, HB and 2B. It took me almost a month but it was fun! :D
