From Jacopo Pirona, »Vocabolario Friulano« (Venezia, 1871), in which it is defined as a synonym of Cornamusa, [and] Piva, and described as a "musical wind instrument, composed of a bag and three pipes, one to give it air, and the other two to play"; An added quotation from T.I. Busiz [?; no details provided] reads "Jo che al son rustican de totorosse / Ai chantàd fin cumò sol di pastors" [Translation?].
