The incredible architecture inside a Fazioli Grand piano. This is a photo of the internal section behind the keys (the 'Action') that transfers the motion of the key to the hammer that strikes the strings. These amazing instruments are made from more than 11'000 individual parts!

Just found out that my photo was in the The Telegraph this week! This is the inside of a Kawai Grand Piano. It's a view down their Millenium III Action which is one of the few major piano developments in the last hundred years, replacing traditional wood for a carbon-resin

Never thought I'd be mentioned in the same sentence as Jonas Kaufmann !! I always hoped I'd get to perform with him during my opera orchestra days, but this will do...

What happens to a Sax when you play it for 80 years? Well... this! I love that this patina is built up at a molecular level from every breath of performance and practice that goes through the instrument. Part of my Architecture In Music collection #saxophone #selmer #jazz

Beethoven's late-period music was dismissed as the incomprehensible rantings of a disabled composer. This wasn't just the conventional view during his lifetime; it remained so well into the 20th century. The popularity of his 9th Symphony was very much an outlier.

Older than Bach! Inside one of the world's most exceptional violas, a 1619 creation by Nicolò Amati. The instrument is on a long-term loan from The Adam Foundation to the New Zealand String Quartet. From my Architecture In Music series #viola #classicalmusic
