It seems like a child's grave to me, no?<br /><br />Once again so many similarities between completely different cultures...those type of instruments (we call them harmonica, not sure about proper English name) are used in my country of origin for so many different purposes - weddings mostly, and just to express ourselves in a quiet summer evening. And also no smiles - no - no - no.....<br /><br />Even these days I have to beg my family to smile when I go to visit them and want to have a family portrait.
