Sheshenky

Siesieńki

Odd and, considering its different pronunciation [➺ NB¹], dubiously anglicised spelling in McCandless, who refers to Rik Palieri as his source (even though the instrument is not mentioned in his interview with Rik); NB¹: The transliteration chosen by McCandless, represents the incorrect Polish spelling Szeszenki, which doesn't occur in any of the reliable sources; NB²: In the text of an otherwise reliable Polish website I encountered the only similar spelling (➺ Szerszeńki [Note the r and ń]), which I didn't find in any other source (and therefore might be equally incorrect), so why not maintain the original orthography?
