This is what happens when you have two part time professional musicians that play brass instruments residing in one home.
I tried a whole series of shots and set ups with other brass instruments but settled on this one in the end. One of the set ups had 5 tubas, 4 trombones and a trumpet and a bugle, but it was super busy and not easy to distinguish the various horns and fit on my modest black king bed sheet used as the background.

I own a single Yamaha compensating euphonium and a single Benge trombone. And even when I was playing semi-professionally (many, many years ago) I barely could find room in my home for them! I can't even imagine what your storage and display scenario must look like. :-D
But seriously, you've got a lovely knack for photographing these and other instruments attractively. It's surprisingly difficult to get right, and you have a signature touch with it.
Coming back around to comment. What? Are you a band leader? How do you find this many instruments at once to capture this? Questions, questions, questions. :-)
