Zampogna romana (f)

(with) definite article: la
(the) Roman bagpipe

Bladder pipe with single chanter, no drone / reed type?

Identical types: 6

Term used as a caption in a historic [19th century?] print of (yet) unknown origin; The depicted instrument resembles a bladder pipe, rather than a bagpipe.

The rather primitive and unreliable illustration shows a decorated bag [bladder?] with a blowpipe and a very short single chanter with a bell, but without fingerholes; Moreover, the blowpipe seems to be provided with a single reed.
