I like this generally. The balance of the opposite curves works for me and the focus being on the instrument rather than the player.
Things that bother me:
It feels too weighted to the left of the frame. I'd try cropping some off the right to achieve a little better balance. Also I'd crop a bit around the left and the bottom to get rid of the curled edges, they are a bit distracting. I know some people feels this lends some sort of "authenticity" but I'm not among those.
Also it's so easy to spot and clean up a photo digitally, why don't people do it? Photoshop (or whatever) healing tool. Dust is distracting.
Generally this feels like it has some energy to me.
