Beautiful pictures! Although I can’t identify the 4th, 5th and 6th pictures… the ones with many tubes and the one in between them. But this is a neat idea!

I’m guessing they’re pipe organs. Ones in large churches. From what I gather the shots are from string instrument, brass instrument, string instrument, pipe organ, string instrument, pipe organ, and another string instrument. The lighting is beautiful :)

Love the marvelous space inside!
No wonder the beautiful sound could resonate from it!

My guesses are violin or viola, flute, cello or bass, pipe organ, acoustic guitar, pipe organ, violin or viola. It’s really hard to get an idea of scale for the orchestra strings but the 2nd is definitely a woodwind instrument.

I wonder what the acoustics would be like if you scaled these up and built actual rooms to these dimensions, particularly the guitar and violin.

You said “they look like rooms”. That’s because these are ads for chamber music (“Kammermusik” in german).

I’m quite certain the second is a Soprano Saxophone. The leather pads with resonators, to me, are a dead giveaway. At this end of the instrument, a flute would generally have bladder pads that are screwed in. The violin/viola and the bass (possibly hybrid-note the presence of the cross-brace on the bottom) are both missing their sound-posts, so neither are in a playable condition.
