Phoenix, AZ - Musical Closeup

The Musical Instrument Museum is filled with wonderful instruments.  Photography is allowed, no tripods and no flash.  Still a lot of fun!

The first few photos are of a flute built from recycled materials.  The rest are from various exhibits.

The next two photos have different tones added to them.
