Miniature musical instruments made by my husband

Macro Monday - Beginning with the letter D

 

A double bass may not be an obvious candidate for a macro, but this one is a miniature ornamental instrument, 220mm total length.

This is a macro of the bridge, about 17mm across.

Macro Mondays: 10/20/2014: Music

On Friday I bought a self-assembly kit for a soprano ukulele. After several steps of assembling I can now proudly present it to you. This creative work cost me patience and nerves. Patience, because I often had to wait for either the glue or the respective layer of paint to dry. Nerves, because yesterday in the evening, when I tried to string the ukulele, the bridge came off again. So I had to attach it again with glue and wait. This morning I could finally string the instrument.

 

Am Freitag habe ich mir einen Bausatz für eine Sopran-Ukulele gekauft. Nach etlichen Verarbeitungsschritten kann ich sie Euch nun präsentieren. Diese Kreativarbeit hat mich einiges an Geduld und Nerven gekostet. Geduld, weil ich oftmals warten musste, bis entweder der Holzleim oder die jeweilige Schicht Farbe getrocknet war. Nerven, weil gestern Abend beim Versuch, die Sehnen aufzuziehen, die Brücke wieder abgerissen ist. Also nochmal Leimen und warten. Heute früh hab ich dann die Sehnen endlich aufziehen können.

That's the new sopranino I got today! It's tiny. It's beautiful.

I'm pretty excited about my "new thing"

The oboe - my instrument of choice for nearly 14 years. This double reed instrument is a member of the woodwind family. The oboe has a very clear, penetrating voice and is often used as a solo instrument. Most professional oboists make their own reeds since every oboist needs a slightly different reed to suit his or her individual needs. By making their own reeds, oboists can precisely control factors such as tone color and tuning.

Dental collection. Gives me the horrors!

 

Needless to say there is no need to say anything about this. Dentists and I don't get along at all, although we do have a good one. With apologies to anyone who has a relative that is into teeth.

Recent images of the April 27 storm damage path have been captured by NASA's Terra satellite, part of NASA's Earth Observing Satellite system, or EOS. An instrument aboard Terra, called Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer or ASTER, captured the images show the scars from the outbreak.

 

ASTER combines infrared, red, and green wavelengths of light to make false-color images that distinguish between water and land. Water is blue. Buildings and paved surfaces are blue-gray. Vegetation is red.

 

The images to the right are from an observation that occurred on May 4, 2011 at 11:45 A.M. local time (1645 UTC), near Tuscaloosa, Ala.

 

The physical principle guiding the use of satellite data to detect tornado damage is based on the premise that the strong winds associated with a tornado will change the physical characteristics of the surface in such a way as to alter the visible and infrared energy reflected. These characteristics could be a change in the orientation of surface features, such as the complete destruction of a house in a residential area, the snapping of trees in a forest region, the uprooting of crops in an agriculture area, or minimal damage to grassland in a pasture or field.

 

Images from NASA satellites will aid in damage assessment, determining the tornado width and path length. Further scientific analysis using satellite imagery is planned.

 

Terra/ASTER is a joint activity between NASA's Science Mission Directorate Earth Science Division and Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Terra is one of 14 NASA satellites that look at the Earth to study and understand changes in the Earth system and provide societal benefits.

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?

My photographer friend likes to use my minis in her first birthday photo shoots. She prefers chocolate cake because it gives a better contrast in her photos. I loved the way the birthday hat came out, but it was a major pain to make. Its so hard to get these little cakes iced smoothly.

I am always fascinated by vintage cameras , this camera belongs to my brother’s father – in – law , knowing my passion for photography he was gracious enough to give me so that I can shoot this as a subject . This is national -35 sprinty c , this camera was enacted during mid 1970s in a CSIR(centre for scientific & industrial research ) facility, National Instruments, at Calcutta. The camera sports the tag, National 35 Sprinty C. It retailed for Rs 780 in 1977. The issues of India Today and Sunday carried the advertisements for the camera in their late 1970s issues.

This camera was actually made in Germany as Regula Sprinty C by a not so well known German camera manufacturer, King KG. When King KG found the going tough during the 1970s in its camera business due to intense competition from other manufacturers in terms of both pricing & quality, it was slowly losing interest in camera manufacturing. In 1977, the designs, tool kits and all the necessary infrastructure to produce NSP SBC was bought by National Instruments, Calcutta. There are no figures about how many units National Instruments manufactured and sold.In those days India had a soviet style of approach towards industrial enterprises , they were named PSU(public sector units ) even though some dozen of those PSU are still functioning even in today’s cut throat market economy , but national instruments camera manufacturing project had to be aborted , one can see the industrial ruins for this I will recommend this blog darklythroughalens.wordpress.com/2010/01/02/the-autopsy-o...

You can see some interesting insights into India's only attempt at camera manufacturing by two independent photographers, Manas Bhattacharya and Madhuban Mitra.

 

Roid week. Beautiful instrument.

I wish I had taken lessons.

This is an instrument cable Stu got for his Double-Bass. He keeps his little amp inside it.

  

Muscle wire contracts when it gets hot, and it gets hot when you put electricity through it, so the more volts, the higher the pitch.

 

With bonus Tom Fox-style whirly strummer!

I've seen all incarnations of the Las Vegas production of Blue Man Group, ranging from their original run at the Luxor from 1999-2005. Then I was fortunate enough to see them at the Venetian as well as the Monte Carlo. Now, 2016, the group returns to the Luxor in a different theatrical space, with a more intimate show that fires on all cylinders. By far, my favorite produciton of the company in all US venues.
