left hand chanter of a non-linked double chanter: cylindrical, divergent, bell / single reed

Stopped left hand chanter; It ends in the shape of a flat disk, or a "falsa campana" [false bell]; Tucci states that the chanter bells of the Stifetta of Mesoraca (prov. Crotone) "have a real cavity"; Leydi’s claim that the only other bagpipe with a stopped chanter would be the Northumbrian bagpipe is incorrect (The Petit chalumeau of the Musette de cour is stopped as well); NB: ➺ Dritta, and Iamas.

1 piece; Type 1, with parallel fingerholes: A♭ (g¹-c²); Type 2, with semi-parallel fingerholes; Range, according to Leydi: e¹-f♯¹-g¹-a¹.
NB: Example(s) to be replaced with staff-notation.
