I make this model using 3D Studio Max 2008.
Before I explain how to create my project, I’m very sorry if my English is not good enough.
OK, First of all, I create a cylinder in front viewport with Side: 10.

Then I apply FFD 4 x 4 x 4 modifier to create trumpet shape.

After that convert it to editable poly so I can modify the shape.

Then I select the polygon and delete it.

After that I select the edge.

Use conect to make segment.

In the front viewport select 10 edge.

In the left Viewport using Shift and drag the mouse to create the polygon.

In the Perspective Viewport I create some polygon. If you do this, don’t forget to activate the snap toggle (snap to vertex is the option).

After that selecting some Vertex and scale it alittle bit to make Lily flower crown looks like.

After that, in the Left Viewport I rotate it about 20 degres and create a line to be a path for the polygon extrude.

In the Perspective Viewport, select the polygon in the back of the trumpet.

Then I Apply Extrude Polygon along Spline to make the tail of the trumpet.

Then, in the left viewport I make some vertex adjustment to make the end of the tail is really-really 90 degrees vertical.

Then selecting the polygon and extrude it to make a shape like showing in the image.

After that I select some edge and makes 2 segment using conect edge.

NExt I'm Selecting some polygon then delete it.

After that for the last creation of the gramophone trumpet (he..he..he.. I don't know what it calls), I’m applying Shell modifier and Turbosmooth.

After the trumpet shape is finish, next I create the box using the poly modelling, the disc, and the poly modelling disc player, the poly modelling trumpet hanger, etc.

Next, I arrange the model as shown in the image.

The last of this model is creating a needle and a sphere. And arrange the needle and sphere as shown in the image.

Now it is time to texturing the model. I used 7 different material to texturing the model.

As you see in the image, the first slot I use black standard blinn material. The 2nd slot I use cooper template from Arch & Design Mental ray. Arch & Design Mental ray material is default from 3ds max 2008 if you want rendering with Mental Ray. The 3rd slot I use chrome template from Arch & Design Mental ray. The 4th I use Light Yellow standard blinn material. The 5th slot I use black disc material, and I used Alpha Channel for the opacity. The 6th and 7th slot I use Wood texture from Arch & Design Mental ray, but I modify the Wood texture with the Wood texture from 3ds max 2008 default map.

For better result I use some supporting model. That is Wall and round Table. The Wall was created using AEC Extended Wall. And the Round table was created from Spline and applying Lathe modifier.

The last action is giving light and render the scene. For the light I use mr Area Omni with Raytrace Shadow as shadow selection.

After that I take a free target camera and try to render the scene using Mental Ray renderer.

It looks good for now, but I’m not satisfy with the result because the wall and shadow looks very flat. There are no bouncing light or shadow. So, I use Final Gather, Photon, and Ambient Oclussion. Sorry, I’m not explain the technique in here. This technique can be learn in 3ds Max Help tutorial. The render take very long duration, maybe because my computer Pentium 4 and 1 Gb of RAM he..he..he...

Now it’s done! You can see the bounching light that impact to models. It makes the models more real than before.
