Prebirače (n)

➺ remark(s) below
Prebiraljka

From "prebirati" [to select / choose / play on a string instrument]; Krk (Baška (➺ Vidulica); Omišalj; Poljica; Soline; Stara Baška; Vrbnik); Since the indigenous wood (i.e. the type growing on the island itself) wasn’t good enough to make these chanters, they were imported, ready-made, from manufacturers on Cres and Istria (Pulje).
