 This is the inside of a music box. Congrats to the many who got it. The drum in the upper right rotates and the pins pull the little planks of metal up. When they fall, they make a "plink" of a specific note.

The water drops were just because everything looks better with water drops, right? RIGHT?!?

You intentionally put water drops inside a music box?? I do like the way the texture of the tines shows up here. Probably would like it better without water drops, though. :-P

I should have known this! I had dozens of these when I was younger. I think the water drops threw me off. LOL!

Nice job with the water drops. Excellent use of a DPC cliche.

I think that the natural orientation for this would be for the slats to be vertical, the bar that slants across the right top corner to be horizontal at the bottom and the drops to run down onto it. However, I still can't identify the object.

A stumper, so meets the challenge. I like the diagonal comp. Water droplets are nicely captured and presented. Maybe more abstract than popular taste here.

My guess: Don't know it's name, but you can play melodies with it by turning a handle. Nice idea with the drops, good lighting.

That's a music box. You had me confused with those water drops, indeed they enhance the picture.
