The Architecture of Music

"Kawai Grand Piano Part 1" by Charles Brooks.

Photographer Charles Brooks offers a rare glimpse into the interiors of musical instruments in this series. Whether stringed, wind, or percussion, an instrument’s unseen interior structure creates the acoustic resonance needed for their music. Brooks makes these spaces feel like vast cathedrals of sound, which, to the pressure waves emanating from the instruments, they are. Which is your favorite? Personally, I love the graceful lines of the cello and the rough surface of the didgeridoo. (Image credit: C. Brooks; via Colossal)
