Zurrón (m)

(with) definite article: el
(the) large bag; ➺ remark(s) below

air reservoir: flexible (usually of animal skin), ready for the insertion of stocks

Fole

From Euskara [i.e. Basque] "zorro" [bag], or (possibly) Arabic; NB¹: Although Jambrina Leal chooses to write it between quotation marks, it is apparently an alternative term for the prepared bag.

Jambrina Leal reports that a bag with a length of ca. 50 cm allows the piper "to collect air and sing whilst playing"; NB²: A "common" zurrón (for general use) is made of tanned leather.
