(the) pair; ➺ remark(s) below

complete set of reeds for 1 instrument

No identical types known (yet).

Term for a complete set of 3 or 4 reeds (regardless of their number) in the jargon of instrument makers and pipers; NB: ➺ Pariglia (chanter pair, Basilicata).

Reeds for the Ritta are marked "R" (r) to distinguish them from the almost identical reeds for the Contro (or Cuntrone), which are marked "O" (o); Reeds for the Manca and Cuntriglio don’t need to be marked.
