Thank you to everyone who took part in last month's 161st Barnack's Monthly theme, which was filled with more 1,000 pictures, excellent ideas and interpretations of the theme. Also, thank you to everyone who helped to make it another successful month by generously posting their pictures and in particular to those people who posted for the first time - I hope you found it an interesting and rewarding experience and I hope it encourages you to share more of your pictures with us!

The 162nd Barnack's Monthly theme for April 2022 is:

Musical instrument

This month's theme is any picture that contains a bona fide musical instrument or a part of one.

For example, it could be a piano in Prague, a viola in Venice, a trumpet in Tijuana, a guitar in Patagonia, a flamenco guitar in Florence, maracas in Marakesh, drums in Dresden, a Theremin, a glockenspiel, a drumstick, a tambourine, a brass band, bagpipes, a bagpipe chanter, a saxophone a Sousaphone, a vibraphone, a xylophone, a metallophone, a telephone bell, horse hair from a violin bow, a mellow cello, a pair of baboons playing a pair of bassoons, a Cor Anglais, a French horn, Alpenhorns, a cornet, a trombone, a cow bell, an ostrich playing an oboe, a dodgy dulcimer, a Floridian flute, a Fijian fiddle, a Market Harborough harp, a Baden-Baden double bass, a glockenspiel that's all over the place, an organ, a mouth organ, a barrel organ, a mouth harp, an Aeolian harp, an air guitar, an electric guitar, a classical guitar, guitar strings, machine heads, grand piano keys, a pianola, snare drums, cymbals, high hats - it's entirely your choice so let your imagination run free!

It would be a big help if you give your picture a title so to help us understand your point of view. Members have asked if we'd very kindly name the camera and lens used because it's interesting to know.

The rules are deliberately loose so go out and shoot with this month's theme in mind or start searching back through those pictures you took oh-so long ago that you'd forgotten about and start posting! It doesn't have to be your best ever shot and it's not a competition so you might surprise the rest of us and yourself - it's just about sharing some pictures, seeing others' take on the topic, and enjoying it!

Everybody's welcome to contribute, any interpretation, any number of posts, pictures that have been posted on the forum before, any equipment as long as it and the photo complies with the forum's rules of either camera or lens or both made by Leica. Please post freely - especially newcomers and please remember there's no judging or criticism (good or bad) in this thread. So, if you'd like to show your acknowledgement or appreciation that someone has posted their picture then instead of posting a comment please use the "Thanks" button that you can find at the bottom right of every post.

Please post away and I look forward to seeing your interesting interpretations of this month's theme.

Note: Moderator Pop has very kindly assembled links to all of the past Barnack's Monthly threads as a single archive that can be found here: Barnack's Monthly Index. Thank you, Pop!

Pete.
