Sourdine (f)

(with) definite article: la
➺ remark(s) below

Bagpipe, mouth-blown: 1 stock (single chanter + drone) / no additional drones

Identical types: 7

Probably from "sourdiner" [to muffle]; According to Ricros (p.554), "their chanters were usually short (< 28-29 cm)"; According to Joseph Ruols, "they didn’t allow playing in octave, which represented a real inconvenience to explore the entire repertoire of the cabrette", and [➺ p.578] "cabrettaires used these instruments at home, to practice", adding that "their drone is not working".
