(with) definite article: la
(the) "left-handed" zampogna
Zampogna

Term used for a Zampogna with the Mancina (long chanter, with key) on the left-hand side; NB: Zammarelli reports that the authors plan to try and formulate some hypotheses on the genesis of this characteristic practice, which he believes to exist in Campania only.
