    Musical Instruments

    I couldn't find a thread for musical instruments, so I started this one.
    Here are some pianos:

    No pictures, but I keep a clarinet in my darkroom and run scales while I wait for prints to wash, etc.

    Powerful photos!
    Nothing captures potentiality quite like a musical instrument and nothing transmits impotentiality (is that a word) quite like a ruined musical instrument

    Austin, you beat me to it -- I have just been thinking about our old pump organ as a subject. Anyway, here's one from long, long ago.

    This one is in slightly better condition (but still well used with 2 sisters who had over 20 years of piano lessons between them).

    Taken as a test of schwarzschild effect on Fomapan 100. 100 minutes long.. As I already guessed it tops out at 4 stops.

    Re: Musical Instruments

    Many years back while still in the home town (New Orleans) I bought a beautiful black ebony Everette studio upright while self teaching myself to play Scott Joplin's Ragtime piano music. If memory serves me well I paid $250 for it and it was a jewel to play. One practice session I'll never forget: I probably started around 8pm, which was the usual starting time, and the next thing I knew the black ebony of the upright started turning shades of grey. Dawn was beginning to beak and unknowingly I had played throughout the entire night! Perhaps even more surprising was that there was not one complaint from the neighbors. I lived in a single residence at the time with a front yard but without air conditioning so the front door was undoubtedly open. The piano was in the room at the front door.
