Required:
-> The serial number and any markings surrounding it. (You can black-out the last couple numbers in the serial if you want. We'll tell you if we need more.)
-> Full shot of the horn's left side.
-> Full shot of the horn's right side.
-> Closeup of any marking, stamp or engraving.
-> Picture of any major damage that you see, including damaged pads, corks, etc.

Recommended:
-> The octave key mechanism -- but not so much that we can't see the actual octave key, itself. That's the thing you put your left thumb on.
-> A tonehole ("valve") or two, particularly of the ones on the bell, if you're talking about a saxophone.
-> Anything you feel is unique or interesting about your horn.
-> The neck, barrel, bocal or headjoint of the instrument.
-> Low C keyguard, if it's a saxophone. That's the key you'd hit with the pinky of your right hand.

We Don't Want or Need:
* Close-ups of rust patterns.
* Close-ups of funky mold growing on your horn.
* Pictures of used reeds, unless you have an extremely odd double-reed instrument.

Note that you can post links to pictures (Picasa, Flickr and other places are just great) or post in an Album here. Just make sure you post the link.

Make sure the pictures are in focus. If you can't see the details in your pictures, we can't see the details.
