Dudy istebniańskie (f) (plurale tantum)

~ of Istebna
Gajdy śląskie

According to Kubik, a term "sometimes used for the Gajdy istebniańskie"; The term is also mentioned in Delaveaux, as a synonym of Kobza; According to Katarzyna & Maciej Szymonowiczowie, "Currently, gajdosze [pipers] use the name Dudy only when referring to instruments from Żywiec, Podhale* [➺ NB²] or Wielkopolska. In the 1930s, however, the term was also used to define the Gajdy śląskie, proof of which is the text of a song ("Grały Dudy kole budy, …") that was recorded during field research in that period by Mieczysław Gładysz, whose informant was Michał Waszut, a gajdosz of Istebna"; According to Waszut, "in the past, gajdosze used the noun Dudy more often to define the Gajdy, but now [i.e. in the 1930s; ws] it is called Gajdy everywhere", which, according to Katarzyna & Maciej Szymonowiczowie, "could be a confirmation of the assumption that the Gajdy has evolved from an instrument similar to the Dudy"; NB¹: ➺ Kobza, and Cobza; *NB²: Podhale ["Under the alp"] is the Polish name for the Tatra mountain region.
