Trombone (m)

(the) trombone

low drone, adjustable: cylindrical, straight, bell, no cavity / double reed

No identical types known (yet).
Zampogna a chiave

Divergent, rear centre; Marzi (prov. Cosenza), Rombiolo (prov. Vibo Valentia), Cardinale (prov. Catanzaro) and San Giorgio Morgeto (prov. Reggio Calabria); Its bell is false.
NB¹: ➺ my remark to the Zampogna a mezza chiave (details).

2 pieces (butt piece + bell), connected by tenon and mortise; Usually 480-580 mm, but note the considerably larger Carvunaru (670 mm) of the Zampogna a chiavi’nteri played by Alessandro Perri; NB²: According to Leydi: c¹: 580 mm (size in a 4½ "palmi", but his measures don’t agree with the proportions shown in his tav. 26bis).

Carvunaru, Trumbuni, ·? (drone: low: remaining designations [not mentioned in available sources])
