Cornetta

NB: Presumably related to Italian “mancare” [to lack]; Term for a “mutilated” instrument of the Cornetta type, in the sense that the right-hand chanter [Destra] of the Zampogna a chiave lacks the usual thumbhole, which normally produces its 5th degree, i.e. the “sensible” (which is the major 7th note of any scale).
