Dudelsach (gender unknown)

(with) definite article: Dudelsachen
(the) bagpipe
Sækkepibe / Sække-pibe

From Hans Kirk, »Skyggespil [Shadow play]« (København, 1953); Though undoubtedly of German origin, it is written with a suffix representing the Scandinavian definite article; NB: Allmo also mentions the term in the entry of a 1948 Swedish text (referring to Nuckö, Estonia, 1880s), which, however, only contains 3 different ways of spelling the Swedish term for "the bagpipe" (Säck pipan, Säckpipan and Säckepipan; ➺ Säckpipa).
