Posted for the Macro Mondays group's weekly theme of "Back To School".
You can find a wider angle view of the instruments in the comments below.
HMM to all in the group and a big thank you to anyone who takes the time and trouble to view, comment on and/or fave this one. :)

I will state for the record that I have no opinion or judgement about circumcision.
I have heard many things said in the defense of circumcision/ uncircumcision for boys. Here are a few:
"If I can't get my sons to clean their rooms, what makes you think I could get them to wash under their foreskins."
"I want him to be American"
"Why on earth would you do THAT?" - spoken by a couple from England who was appalled that I even asked them if they were interested in circumcision.
"I want him to look like his dad."
"I don't want him to get teased." -though this doesn't fly so much anymore b/c larger numbers of boys are not being circumcised.
I'm very glad I had my son 10 years ago, when I didn't work in OB. And I'm glad I never had another son, so I didn't have to make the choice twice. It is not barbaric- really, they do very well. I'm just not sure how I feel about it, now that I've working in the setting for 8 years. I'd likely do it again, but then I'd be thinking about it the whole time... ignorance really is sometimes bliss.

Sometimes I wish I had another job. Just imagine you are an instrument maker! You would have something that you can touch with your hands. You could smell the wood and the paint, and after some day or weeks you can take the instrument and play it... It's not a fuckin IT project with lots of people who are nervous and unfriendly. It's not all about money or the best price... You don't have to bid in a bidding procedure, you just have to manufacture the instrument and if there is someone who likes the sound you can sell what you've done for a real price. It's a nice imagination... Is there an instrument maker out there?
I wish I could have gotten in a little tighter. Then again, I sort of want to replicate another shot in doing that. I think that obscuring the eyes of someone like this is interesting for a number of reasons. If no other reason suits the wow factor for me, it's that we look to eyes to gauge a person. When they wear reflective sunglasses like this, though, in a way- we see how they see us.

Une guitare est bien plus qu'un morceau de bois. Elle est la fierté de l'artisan, la passion de l'artiste et la musique de l'âme...
Our guitar facilitator and youth mentor, Altair, knows the hardships of a difficult childhood, having himself had a pretty tough time after losing his own father at an early age.
Today he’s happy to pass on his knowledge of the instrument he enjoys most of all, the guitar. He also has a growing interest for the importance of the third sector in the development of a more just Brazilian society and hopes his small contribution will be of some value in reaching that goal.
With Beija-Flor na Comunidade (Hummingbird in the Community), it means we are taking Hummingbird to the community instead of the community coming to us. In other words, Hummingbird is spreading its wings!
The programme is part of a new strategy being developed by our youth mentors to get a preliminary feel in connection with their objectives to implant small Hummingbird nuclei in the more distant parts of our community, thus bringing our activities to the poorest kids who have no means of reaching our main centre.
The first community to be receiving some of Hummingbird’s vibrant activities is the Sitio Joaninha, which is a rough hilly area about 6 kilometres away from us, where many of the families who used to work on the rubbish tip live. The tip was closed down a few years ago and the area covered with topsoil so as to recuperate some of the natural vegetation.
Most of the shanty homes were constructed during the active years of the tip, when entire families found their livelihoods under the most unhealthy and hazardous working conditions. Since its closure there has been very few alternatives in the way of work and habitation, so very few have been able to move to better conditions. To the contrary; the area has rapidly grown to accommodate even more poverty-stricken families who have no other alternative than to grab a small plot of land and try to survive on what little is available in terms of public amenities in such places.
The majority of homes have no running water and depend on the council delivering drinking water by truck each day. Electricity is acquired through a series of illegal connections, which people have hooked-up to the main electricity network through a maze of literally thousands of metres of wiring crossing the landscape in all directions in order to bring power to one’s home.
This is quite common during the rapid growth of favela (shanty) areas and pressures from the inhabitants will eventually cause most councils to come up with a more satisfactory and less risky solution.
Many of the children who live here have a long way to walk to reach school, as there is no public transport. The tendency is therefore not to go, especially during the rainy or colder seasons. Very few have the willpower or even the means of getting to Hummingbird to participate in all the good things we have to offer in our Street Migration Prevention Programme, although there are some who do.
This is the main reason for us to bring Hummingbird to the kids. If we can manage to finance a more permanent solution we will be able to continue with a variety of activities throughout the entire year and not just during the school holiday season, which is our proposal in this phase of the project.

Though his shirt reads "hardcore", this kid is playing a traditional West Java music instrument called The Karinding.
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.
The sign reads:
Khong mon (gong chime)
Thailand, mid-20th c.
Bronze, wood, glass, cowskin
Typically played at Thai funerals,
these tuned gongs are mounted on a
frame decorated with the figure of a
thep kinnaree, a woman-swan hybrid
from Thai mythology.
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.

Another of the shots taken in the art studio at Appleby College... These instruments are all past their functional life in making music, but their forms can combine to create a new kind of art.

I always envied the flute and piccolo players. Their instruments weighed next to nothing. Heck, the piccolo players could put them in their pockets at the end of the parade. I, however had to lug this stupid, heavy, baritone sax around which really was only good for playing the Pink Panther theme.
