#Steinway

Continued thread

The inside of a modern subw... actually it's a #Steinway Grand Piano! Crafted from around 11'000 individual parts you're looking at a tiny tunnel through the 'action' of the piano (the moving parts that transfer motion from the keys to the strings).

This whole space is less than 20mm in diameter. To photograph it I took 1088 individual photos at different focal lengths and blended them, a technique called focus stacking.

Und mit diesem Bild bin ich dann in Time: Woche 4/52 der #52photostories2023 zeigt das Innenleben, also die Gussplatte, eines Steinway-Flügels. Ein D-Flügel - der vermutlich am häufigsten eingesetzte Konzertflügel - wiegt etwa 500kg. Das schwerste und größte zusammenhängende Teil eines Flügels, also die Gussplatte, hat aber nur die Aufgabe zu halten und sollte idealerweise kein eigenen Töne verursachen.

@godlessmom 1. I started a web-based software business in 1996, hoping to quit my day job. I still have my day job, but I put three kids through college and bought a cheap car and lots of cool stuff with what I earned.
2. I has a Top Secret /SCI clearance for several years but never learned any secrets worth selling.
3. I own too many musical instruments to even count, including a rare #Leedy #vibraphone and a rare 1917 #Steinway Model I upright.
4. I have a #camera collection. My favorite is a #Rolleiflex 3.5f. I find it beautiful.
5. I own a 6 ft wooden indian that my dad carved in 1976. He's named Chief Rain or Shine, though I don't know why.
