Dudelsack (m)
(with) definite article: derBagpipe: any type (even if foreign to the local tradition)
From Polish "dudlić" [to sing tunelessly]; Name first encountered, as an equivalent of Sackpfeife, in late 17th century sources; Generic term for all kinds of bagpipes, German or otherwise; Podnos, who fails to reveal his source, erroneously claims that in Germany the term is used in the southern regions only; NB¹: In his »The Englishman's handbook, or, How to deal with foreigners« (London, 2000), Idries Shah refers to a hoax story about a special protocol, that should be added to the conclusions of the 1991 Maastricht summit; He describes this Karneval (equivalent to April fool) joke as follows: "Although the protocol recognised the Scottish origins [sic; ws] of the bagpipe, under pressure from the German side it had been accepted that the Dudelheim influence was 'unmistakable', and the characteristic pipes originated from Hesse, a land of great piping culture. The bagpipes were therefore to be known as the Dudelsack"; NB²: ➺ Pipenbuck; NB³: ➺ Dutch Doedelzak; NB4: In his thesis, Valdis Muktupāvels mentions "Dudelsack" as a German AND (erroneously) even as a Dutch term!
