🎻 These instruments hide jaw-dropping secrets inside!

🎶 Music Meets Architecture—From My Perspective

I stumbled across something this week that completely changed how I think about musical instruments. Photographer Charles Brooks has this series called Architecture in Music, and it’s unlike anything I’ve seen.

He uses endoscopic lenses—the kind doctors use—to photograph the insides of instruments. Not just a peek under the lid of a piano, but deep inside. The results? They look like cathedrals. Seriously.

🎻 What’s Inside a Violin?

Brooks has shot the interiors of pianos, flutes, cellos, and more. The inside of a cello looks like a chapel. A flute becomes a tunnel of light. Even the guts of a grand piano resemble the rafters of a gothic cathedral.

It’s wild to think about. These instruments aren’t just tools for making sound. They’re built with such care and detail that their insides are works of art too.

📸 Why It Stuck With Me

I’ve been around music my whole life, and I’ve never thought about what it looks like from the inside. Brooks’ photos made me stop and appreciate the craftsmanship behind every note. It’s not just about sound—it’s about structure, design, and emotion.

There’s something powerful about seeing the “soul” of an instrument. It makes the music feel even more personal.

👀 Take a Look

I’ve posted a link to few of Brooks’ photos below. If you’ve ever played an instrument, or just love listening to one, you’ll want to see this. It’s a reminder that music isn’t just heard—it’s built.
