Trim with lace collar and cuffs, as combatant non-commissioned officers, was rated as a distinctive sign of the regimental musicians of the orchestra (by then the terminology of "choir music"), even if they are not consisted in the non-commissioned officer ranks. At center right, coat of dark-blue color – conductor, or, as it was officially called, "the official training for musicians", performing also the functions of the conductor. Distinctive signs of his outfit – round civilian badge on the crown cap and Gasunie valves on the collar patches and stars denoting rank.

To his left, in a gray coat – adjutant in charge and was a lifelong musicianship team at any part where it was supposed to. Black hat long fur suggests that the picture was taken on the occasion of his transfer to Siberia or the far East.
