Jay thanks. The instrument in question is a bassoon.

Ciao Marcello, thanks. as for the sky blue colour I had some conflicting reference so I chose the middle tone to be sure I'm somewhere in between. The chord is a 3 way one woven by hand from fuse wire. Honestly I thought it was similar. If you can emphasize I would be grateful. You can send me a PM or e-mail if you like.

Joe, here's the mixes I used.

Blue : AC21 + AC34 + AV901 + AC19. This was highlighted with AC60 and shadows applied with the addition of black.

Yrellow : AV953 = AC2. Highlighted with AC39 and low lighted with AC2 and black.

Hope it helps

Hi Stephen,
I understand what you said about sky blue, but I think it was a bit deeper in this case.
About the cord, I put here a photo of a real shako, where you can see both cord and tassel as they were, I think this may be useful for every fan of nap figures.
Yours is rather similar, perhaps the three wires are to be a little more close?
But these are little details, your figure is very nice...
Best regards
MdM
