The Rebab is an 8th century stringed instrument of the Arabian Peninsular and it has a limited range of a little over one octave. It is used by the Bedouin. The tent is a Bedouin woven tent and the carpets are traditional woven Arabian mats.
The oud (Arabic: عود ʿūd, plural: أعواد, a‘wād; Somali: kaban; Persian: بربط barbat; Turkish: ud or ut;[1] Greek: ούτι; Armenian: ուդ, Azeri: ud; Hebrew: עוד ud) is a pear-shaped, stringed instrument, which is often seen as the predecessor of the western lute, distinguished primarily by being without frets, commonly used in Middle Eastern music.

I've decided the banjo would fit well into a steampunk setting... It's very industrial in nature and can appear more like machinery than a musical instrument... Especially when one plays with lighting and depth of field...
This shot taken on my kitchen countertop using just the overhead halogen lighting. No flash or additional lighting used.
Musical Instrument Museum, Phoenix.
This is one of the first rooms visited when touring the museum; it serves as an introduction of what's to come.
Upstairs there are rooms with instruments from many countries around the world and videos so you can watch and hear them being played. It's pretty overwhelming as your sense of sound changes every few seconds because a new tv monitor kicks in as soon as you approach it. A fun place to visit!
Carte de visite by an anonymous photographer. A man poses next to a scientific instrument of unknown origins. It is housed in a tapered glass container topped by a spool and hand crank. A right angle and compass propped up against the container obscures a word, perhaps “patent,” which suggest this may be a patent model. If true, the man may be its inventor.

I've been playing around with the preset filters in Lightroom some more today. I've really been liking this filter, but it doesn't work well with much so it was great to get a photo that works.
Music has always been a part of my life. My mother has a photograph of me sitting with my great-grandmother at her piano when I was probably 2 or 3 years old. I played a myriad of instruments throughout grade school and college and still play clarinet and piano. Needless to say, learning an instrument has never been too difficult for me. Guitar however.....I've never met with something so difficult to learn. I absolutely love it because I can sing along with myself, but it is proving hard to wrap my brain around. One of these days I hope to be able to do more than just strum.
Stjerneborg - An astronomical observatory underground. Today, the exterior of Stjerneborg is reconstructed and shows how Stjerneborg looked during the 16th century.
Inside the observatory there is a multimedia show that tells the story of how Tycho Brahe worked during his observations.
Scale like reconstructions of Tycho Brahes instruments are placed inside the observatory.
"I blurred at once the map of humdrum,
by splashing colours like a potion;
I showed upon the dish of jelly the slanted cheekbones of the ocean.
Upon the scales of metal fishes
I read the new lips’ attitude.
But could you
now
perform a nocturne
Just playing on a drainpipe flute?"
--- V. Mayakovsky, 1913
Several minutes random doodle just out of blue ... and it looks like some kind of steampunk musical instrument eventually and I remembered this spectacular poetry in theme.

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. :)

The MODIS instrument on NASA's Aqua satellite captured this visible image of the ash plume from the eruption of the Puyehue-Cordón Caulle volcano, Chile on June 12 at 18:05 UTC (2:35 p.m. EDT), blowing to the northeast and getting drawn into a low in the Atlantic Ocean.

Selfmade stratocaster replica, body: one piece mahogany, neck: one piece birch (still straight after 17 years!!! ), jumbo frets, mics, machines, bits & pieces: noname.
Looking for a subject for 115 of 120 pictures in 2020 - Ways to weigh or measure, I was going to take a picture of a set of scales I have then decided to focus on 'measure' and came up with this picture.
Whilst clearing out the garage I came across this rather shiny guage holder which I recall my father had fitted to some of his cars. There was never enough gauges in the car for him! The hunt was then on for a couple of gauges to put in it and as luck would have it I found one of his old oil pressure gauges, the one on the left and a volt meter, one which I used to have in a previous car. Luckily they were both 'Smiths' and fitted the surround nicely.
Rather than languishing in a forgotten corner of the garage they now adorn a shelf in my 'man cave' bringing back happy memories of times gone by.
Left gauge measures engine oil pressure, right gauge car electrical voltage.

Original string instrument from Balkans called Tamburica. A lot of people all around Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia and Hungary enjoy calm and warm sounds that this instrument produces.
While it never got completely dark in August crossing the Norwegian Sea or the Northwest Cape of Iceland, it did get dark enough for the instruments by the helm to have their characteristic red glow in the middle of the night.
This trip was an expedition voyage from Norway to Iceland put on by UK-based sailing company Rubicon 3. To learn more about them, visit their web site:
Thanks to Dennis Jarvis for the use of his pileated woodpecker photo. More precisely, it's a sculpture of a pileated woodpecker at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
I guess everyone spotted the bird; did anyone notice that it is a sculpture rather than a real bird?

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?
Included are Parker items that my parents used daily when I was growing up. I recollect my folks using them as early as when we were living in the Silver Lake area of Los Angeles in the late 1950s.
The two with the dark blue bodies were a pen and pencil set. The second from the left is a Parker ‘51’ fountain pen which was very popular in its day. Whenever my mom wrote letters to her relatives and friends, this was her go-to pen. I was fascinated by the richly dark characters that were effortlessly produced by its nib that was barely visible.
The reddish one is a Parker ‘61’ fountain pen. I remember watching my dad pay so many bills by writing out checks with this beauty. He also used it to sign our school grade report cards!
The one on the right is my Parker ‘45’ fountain pen which my parents bought me as a gift when I was in high school or junior high. Though modestly priced compared to the ‘51’ and ‘61’, it performed quite flawlessly and served me well during secondary school.
To this day I still gain great satisfaction using fountain pens. My favorite is a Pilot brand (made in Japan) ‘vanishing point’ style in which the nib retracts into the pen barrel by click action. I’ve used it often enough in the several years I’ve owned it that I have worn off part of its black finish revealing the brass shell beneath.
The dashboard or IP (Fordspeak instrument panel) inside my trusty 2013.5MY Ford Mondeo Titanium X 2.0L TDCi which has been fully decommissioned from its service life as a hackney carriage taxi after 5.6 years and about 210,000 miles in my ownership.
With 241,979 miles on the odometer with mileage related wear and tear taking its toll and an uneconomic to repair major powershift gearbox fault which renders the vehicle undriveable, it's probably the end of the road for this faithful old girl.
Note the integrated audio and 7 inch 'Touchscreen Navigation PLUS' satellite navigation and mapping system which was an option fitted at extra cost when this car was new.
The 'Touchscreen Navigation PLUS' system differs from the more common Mondeo business edition touchscreen units as the PLUS package comes with with 9 premium audio speakers (instead of 8 standard speakers) with increased output along with a reversing camera and integrated screen.
The easiest way to tell the difference between the two 2007-2014 Ford Mondeo touchscreen types is the PLUS system comes with silver coloured spacers between the unit buttons as seen here in place of the standard black and chrome finished volume and climate control switches.
Note the wear and grime on the drivers seat..
