Kozioł ślubny (m)
Bagpipe, bellows-blown: 2 stocks (a: single chanter / b: drone)
Nowadays rare, this bagpipe was traditionally used during the wedding ceremonies ("ślub"), i.e. to invite [call] the wedding guests, accompany the bride and groom on their trip to church, and play until the wedding supper; Contrary to the common Kozioł, it lacks the goat’s head, has a smooth bag without fleece, and a straight drone; Note the defective spelling (Koziol slubny) in Marcuse, who rather dubiously defines it as a "ritual" (instead of a ceremonial) instrument; McCandless erroneously calls it Koza slubnego, ignorantly combining the feminine form of the noun [she-goat; which is incorrect] with the masculine [!] genitive form of the adjective; The adjective is also spelt incorrectly in Podnos, who, moreover, mentions it in his Index I (Bagpipe names; ➺ p.116), thus ignorantly treating it as a noun; NB¹: ➺ Dudki doślubne; NB²: ➺ the various types of Kozioł.
Pitch and drone differ from that of the Kozioł weselny; Details?
