Duma, János

Born and lived in Nagypatak [Valea Mare, in county Covasna, NE of Brașov, Transylvania, RO]; One internet source shows a photo of him, playing on a "dupla sípszáras moldvai magyar duda" [Moldavian Hungarian Duda with a double chanter]; In an interview, Ferenc Tobak claims that Antal Palotka (*ca. 1943) inherited Porondi’s Duda, and continued the Hungarian piping tradition in Nagypatak [which Tobak erroneously locates in Moldavia (RO)]; In the accompanying photo, Antal demonstrates a bagpipe (pretending to play it) that seems to be a Moldavian Cimpoi [Hungarian name: Csimpolya], probably made by Tobak himself.
