A true musician respects their instrument. I know the girl is only a child but this can do some serious damage to the instrument.

From an image, particularly this one, it is impossible to see if a child is applying any weight to the instrument. It is a pose for a photograph. She is not playing the instrument merely posing with it. If you look at the vast array of musician/instrument images on the net you will see the extremities,in some cases, that musicians will go to to appease the photographer. I am a trained pianist and worked in a professional capacity for 5 years as a studio session muso. I have images of fellow muso's which would make your hair fall out if you saw what they did to their instruments, classical and modern alike.
I feel on this occasion we must agree to disagree.
With best intentions as always...I merely feel you are wrong.
Does mean we can't be friends ?
