Bagpipe, bellows-blown: 2 stocks (a: single chanter / b: drone)

Identical types: 16

Larger than the Měchawa, with the fleece of the skin outside; Used, in combination with a regular violin and a clarinet, to accompany wedding dances; Misinterpreted by Leydi as a Czech term; According to Marcuse and Podnos a name used by the Slavic "Wends", which is (together with "Lusatians"), an obsolete term for the "Sorbs".

The stock for the chanter is carved as a he-goat’s head, with horns made of a wild boar’s teeth.
