Cimpoi "bulgăresc" (n)

(with) definite article: Cimpoiul "bulgăresc"

Carabă

Confusing "nickname", mentioned in Alexandru for the chanter type used in Muntenia (with 7 fingerholes + a thumbhole; i.e. similar to the common Bulgarian Gajdunica), misinterpreted by Baines as the name of the entire instrument (➺ Cimpoi and Fluier "bulgăresc"); NB: ➺ Carabă bulgărească.
