The focal length was 55mm and I used my little brother Valur as the model. He hasn´t actually been playing the saxophone for about 3-4 years but that was actually a good thing since it´s been in an isolated case the whole time and therefore clean as a whistle, we didn´t have to polish it first.
Bounced a 550ex flash with a 420ex set up with an umbrella for additional lighting.
Cloned out the umbrella and a couple of glares from the reflection in the saxophone, used curves and unsharp mask but other than that unmanipulated.

Great perspective used. The hand is in perfect focus. The only thing that really husrts it is the blown verticals of the horn and just a bit too shallow DOF for me on the keys.
