 This is my Yamaha Douglas Yeo Bass Trombone mouthpiece with spray water from my slide sprayer. I figure this will be next to impossible to figure out if you are not a brass player.

Shot as RAW image with my 1.4 50mm MF nikkor lens reverse mounted using a lens ring.

When I think Yamaha , I think of music devices. But boy you didnt get one wet did you? ;) so maybe a part of their motor vehicle toys? Can't wait to find out. I do like the various tones here. How the subtle blue and red tones mix.

I didn't realize Yamaha made so many things! First I thought a part of a motorcycle, then I found that Yamaha makes a slew of musical instruments so it could be the part of an instrument.
