just as an FYI, "gaita" also happens to be the word
Spaniards use to refer to the bagpipes (so don't
accidentally write to "Gaita-Spain-L" asking for harp
advice...).
it seems like most any name the harmonica has can be
read as something else is some context or other. i'd
stick with 'mouth organ' but it makes people snicker.
especially me ;)
