The octobass of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra. It typically plays one octave below the double bass. This rare bowed strong instrument was first built around 1850 in Paris by the French luthier, Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume. Because of the extreme fingerboard length and string thickness, the musician plays it using a system of levers and pedals. The levers serve to engage metal clamps that are positioned above the neck at specific positions. These clamps act as fretting devices when the performer presses the levers. In addition to the Paris instrument, octobasses exist in the collections of the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix, Arizona and the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. In October 2016, the Quebec company Canimex donated the octobass shown here to the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, which is now the only orchestra in the world to own one.

I grew up on this stuff. Although I think way back in was "Chun King" brand, not "La Choy".

October 12, 1944: Chuck Yeager becomes an ace in a day, shooting down 5 German Me-109s. He writes to Glennis, I may even get a medal, too. She writes back what kind of house would he like to live in after he gets married. Hint. Hint.

What’s going on here? Looks like packages dropped one from another airplane got caught on the tail of this plane?

On second thought, it looks like those are weights holding the plane down.

^^^ I think in an earlier thread it was explained that they were doing pressure test and over inflated;)

I could be wrong.

There, I fixed it....again
This is a door in the breakfast area of the hotel I stayed at last night.
