  DOMBRAS
Dombras is een klein dorp van zo'n 150 zielen met twee straten en een paar steegjes.
Het dorp is typisch Lotharings en er zijn nog verschillende mooie oude gevels, een kerk met een bijzondere toren, en een geclasseerd « calvaire » in het gehucht Dimbley.
Omstandigheden zijn aan verandering onderhevig en in 1999 werd het huis verkocht, weliswaar met pijn in het hart.

 Dombra
The dombra is a long-necked, two-stringed instrument, possessing a resonating chamber, somewhat similar to a banjo or a lute, and especially popular in the Central Asian nations.
The dombra is played by either strumming with the hand or plucking each string individually, with an occasional tap on the main surface of the instrument.
In fact, the instrument is a very traditional one, and many hold it in high regard as a symbol of nationalism among the post-Soviet nations of the Commonwealth of Independent States.
