Gajda (f)

original: гајда

➺ remark(s) below

Bagpipe, mouth-blown: 2 stocks (a: single chanter + semidrone / b: drone)

Identical types: 10

From Arabic غيدا (ghaidā [gentle]) ?; With a relatively large chanter bell; Bačka region; Banat region (Bašaid); Srem [Syrmia] region (Fruška Gora; Ruma); Traditionally "mandatory" at parties; NB¹: = Gajda (Serbia [Gajde golemo]), and Gajde [a] (Bosnia & Hercegovina) and [b] (Croatia); NB²: ➺ homonyms, &c. (incl. Gaida and Gaita); NB³: Assuming that the terminology used for the elementary parts of this mounth-blown type and its bellows-blown equivalent is identical, I decided to include the designations of all corresponding (i.e. "mutual") parts that are mentioned by Vukosavljević in his description of the bellows-blown type.
