Cornamusa

Possibly a corruption of Greek συμφωνία (Symfonia [Latin: Symphonia]); According to Kuhač, "The Italians, descendants of the Romans, discarded the old Latin names of the bagpipe (chorus and utricularis), and the terms cornamusa and zamboja [sic] took their place"; NB: ➺ similar & related terms.
