Doedelzak

From the caption (Speellieden ofte Moeselaars*, speelende op Sack-pijpen... [Minstrels, playing bagpipes]) of an engraving (dated 1642), made after the painting »The pilgrimage of the epileptics to the church at Molenbeek« (also called »The dance of St. John or St. Vitus«) by Pieter Breugel [also Breughel, or Bruegel] the Younger (1564–1638); NB¹: The engraving appears to be a rather liberal variant mirrored version of a detail of the mentioned painting [Note the odd anatomy of the "first" piper; ws]; NB²: Nowadays Molenbeek is one of 19 municipalities of the Brussels-Capital Region (Its full French name is Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, and its Dutch name is Sint-Jans-Molenbeek); NB³: Boone refers to "an archive text, cited in the WNT" (Woordenboek der Nederlandsche Taal); *NB4: ➺ Moeselaer; NB5: ➺ Netherlands.
