From Latin "ascop(er)a" [leather bag]; It had 3 rather short cane pipes with single reeds and was used to accompany singing at calendar festivities (e.g. New Year); Now extinct [2001], it occurred in central Molise (prov. Isernia: Bagnoli del Trigno; prov. Campobasso: Salcito, Lucito, Fossalto (NB¹: ➺ Piva di Fossale (remarks)), Pietracupa, Torella del Sannio, and Duronia); Recovered parts of an original, old specimen is on display in the "Mostra Permanente di Cornamuse Italiane e Straniere" of the Circolo della Zampogna in Scapoli (prov. Isernia), which also exhibits a complete instrument, built by Angelo Vergalito, who is considered the last builder of Fossalto (even though his son Pompilio (?-?) also made, until the 1980s, some instruments) and a reconstruction (coll. Parco Nazionale d’Abruzzo, Lazio [i.e. Latium] e Molise), also complete, made by Febo Guizzi; NB²: ➺ homonyms, &c.

Blowpipe, 2 chanters and drone are all entirely made of cane (Arundo donax).
