a ten dollar coronet....

[peeperita]

my mister has had this old coronet since the mid seventies.....and even then, he bought it used at a pawn shop for ten dollars.......i shot a few of his nicer instruments......shinier, newer toys.....but, thery didn't draw me like this one.....







thanks!

The dark background really sets it off nice and gives it an old feel...i really like it too and can see why you chose it.

thanks, angel.....i had a great time shooting it.......the black back ground one was a hoot......i pretty much shot it in a dark room and "painted it" with a flashlight......

Hi peeper .. my goodness .. it looks ancient .. does it still plays or does he still plays with it? .. nice setup

[peeperita]

thanks, hayward.....

i'm sure it still blows.....but the sound is probably compromised......if you look close at the third image, you can see the bell is cracked...

Great shots, it certainly does look old, but it was about that time I gave up playing (mid seventies), so if I still had one it would probably look the same, getting old just like me.

Wow, these are beautiful shots! What a great instrument, and you really showed it's character. That first one is fantastic!

Wow, you can just hear the notes coming out of this.

Age, character, patina, and a ding or two....kinda like me! Beautiful shots.
