IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


The bell is basically a torus minus a torus with a bigger radius,
 and the left over portion is cropped by a cylinder. Makes sense,
 no? Good. This next part may not. I gave up playing the trumpet,
 because my family moved to Germany when I was thirteen. You
 understand, yes? I didnt think so. My father, a naval architect,
 informs us there are tiny dents in the surface. You should have
 reminded Dad that trumpets aren't meant to cross the Atlantic.
 There is a 2048x1536 dyesub on one of the walls in his study.
 Strictly off the record, between you and me, Dad, its just no
 fun playing trumpet by yourself all the time... (I hear you, Son.)
 I know that, and Im not pointing my finger at you, but why is
 there no band at the school? Did I mention that it was framed?


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


I have only recently downloaded Povray 3.02 for Windows. I haven't
 had a lot of time to play around with it yet, but I did discover
 that it can render 2.2 POV files and is much faster. The render
 time display really did say 0d 01h 00m 00s. The trial runs were
 lower res output. "The Trumpet" is pure CSG. I considered it a
 challenge to limit myself to object primitives.
