So this doesn't really show off the instrument
(and is probably a fair relfection of the stage I've reached in learning to play it)

Thanks to the lmited DOF of the 105mm at this magnification, you're pretty much restricted to admiring some of the threadwork :)

More to follow

A native American flute?  Beautiful aesthetic.

Thank you, Fons.  Yes, the body/neck is made of mahogany.  This is made by a Turkish luthier/bass player, and I think the design is brilliant.

Thanks Akira.
It was listening to his nephew Rakesh Chaurasia that persuaded me to try to learn.

Several weeks later a mysterious parcel (with typical Indian stitched packaging) arrived from Delhi. Progress has been slow, with occaisional bursts of inspiration.

My wife took this one in which the dog is telling me enough of that. Guitar is a Martin. Since I only play in the house and yard it is a bit big. But nothing else I have sustains as well.

The dog looks like how we call "Shiba-Inu" in Japan.  Cute!  The dreadnought looks cool with the herringbone purfling.

She is a shiba, or at least mostly shiba. We got her as a rescue dog from a family who could not handle her. As you probably know shibas look cute, but often have strong opinions and can be quite fierce. They are quite loyal too.

I’ll try to take and post some photos of another guitar I have which looks more interesting.
