Sredna gajda (f)

(with) definite article: Srednata gajda

original: средна(та) гайда

(the) middle [i.e. medium pitched] bagpipe

names of bagpipes (&c.) in connection with their pitch only

Identical types: 43
Gajda

Term used only to distinguish the instrument from the other types (Džura & Kaba gajda); Prašanov erroneously states that it is the name for a Gajda with a chanter range of g¹-a² [i.e. that of the Džura gajda], ignoring the fact that its name implies that it has a lower pitch (e.g. range d¹-e², which he adds, without a name).

➺ Gajdunica and Ručilo.
NB: Example(s) to be replaced with staff-notation.
