Comment by Jaguar:
Thanks to everyone and their comments. I will take the suggestions and use them. The DOF on the valves is the most commented item and I'm going to try the shot again with the valves in focus. The hard part about that though, because I had tried a little bit of that already, the Melophone is so long (longer than a trumpet, the DOF was hard to acquire with the notes out of focus and to even tell what kind of instrument it was.

I was trying to show the uniqueness of the instrument, rather than the common valves seen on most instruments. I'll have to try another angle or something.

Thanks again for the comments. They are greatly appreciated.

Interesting subject. Might be helped with a little less black reflection on the silver parts.

Good, shot, the floor/bottom fabric seems a little distracting with the reddish flare.
