Müsa di Pradaglia (f)

(with) definite article: la
~ of Pradaglia

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

Identical types: 61

The wooden parts of only 1 instrument of this type have been discovered (Its chanter was probably made by Nicolò Bacigalupo); Gioielli, who cites only part of Leydi’s "more detailed description" of the instrument, treats it as a "common" Müsa delle Quattro Province, oddly, and in my opinion rather ignorantly, disregarding Leydi’s remark that "The fact remains that the instrument of Pradaglia is unique (because of the characteristic drone with holes) among all the European bagpipes we know".
