Do really only have one instrument?

[Hmongol]

And I am sure you know which one I am talking about. Also why does it sound like two lambs going at it, even the tribes in in the dirtiest part of the country can come up with wind chime.

I'm lost, Hmongol.

Not all of us know the different connotations of our very own culture.

Its the one and only instrument they play at funerals and everywhere

[hmongperson]

We have many instruments, just because you only know of one does not mean we only have one. If we are talking about funeral then we have the qeej and the drum. For courtship we have a multitude of flutes and the mouth harp. For entertainment we have the "xis xau." For war we have the qeej and the drum again and the bull horn flute. The Hmongs in China has come up with many version of the qeej that can play at many different notes, low and high. So if you take a close look you'll know that we have tons of instrument.
