Italian bagpipes: A modern Zampogna A Chiave in F played without the bag (blown by mouth)

Here's quite an interesting video which obviously I didn't record, but I feel it's worth putting on my channel. On one of my favorite Facebook pages, which is all in Italian (so of course I obviously use Google Translator to read it), they shared a video of one of the most famous zampogna players (pipers) by FAR, Pietro Ricci. Pietro Ricci is from the Molise / Lazio area of central Italy, and is one of the most famous zampogna players in the world, who is also a pipemaker taught by his father Luigi Ricci. In 1996 he invented the modern form of the zampogna by putting small holes on what would have originally been the tenor drone, which literally make 3 different chanters. He also made use of the chromatic notes on the two chanters of a zampogna that barely anyone had known about before then, similar to what the late Scottish Highland bagpipe genius Gordon Duncan (1964 - 2005) discovered before Duncan committed alcoholic suicide. He plays in several orchestras and even formed several bands. The modernization of Italian pipes is also really cool. Most tenor drones are just "drones", fixed on the note Sol of the scale. However, Modern zampogne, while working to be adaptable with other instruments, include a tenor drone that can actually change notes, to make a total of three different chanters. This quite honestly clever design entails very closely-spaced holes, which are covered and uncovered with the left thumb, or keys can be a better option. As all five fingers of the right hand play the soprano chanter and the four fingers on the left hand play the alto (in the case of a single-reed zampogna) or bass (in the case of a double-reed zampogna), the left thumb is free, which is where the "moveable tenor", vernacularly speaking, originated - so you would end up using all five fingers on your left hand. Without holes or keys the tenor drone note is fixed on Sol, but can be moved up and down precisely for tuning purposes, just as many drones do on almost every type of bagpipe - but there are some exceptions with drones that do not have sliding parts, particularly in Bohemia and some parts of Poland, where the reed itself is the only means to adjust for tuning. That being said, despite the novel tenor, this is not a very common practice yet, yet is slowly but surely catching on. In early 2011, I first heard a set of modernized Italian bagpipes with the rather novel movable tenor drone (i.e. with three holes to act as a chanter) being played by Carlo Massarelli, and I reached out to another friend of mine named Sean Folsom, the only zampogna player I knew of back then. Sean got back to me and told me that I might be listening to Pietro Ricci (it was really Carlo Massarelli), but after hearing his suggestion to look up Pietro Ricci, I just got hooked. In this video, Pietro is demonstrating a modern 3.5 palmi central Italian zampogna a chiave as it's called, in the key of F, of his own making. But instead of using an actual bag, he actually blows on all 3 pipes at the same time, quite similar to the Sardinian Triplepipe which is the difinitively direct ancestor of the Italian pipes. What makes his pipes particularly central Italian is the fact that the bass chanter is rather weak and somewhat nasal-sounding, and the other type of zampogna that plays the same notes, the Lucana "breed" as it were, definitely has a strong bassoon-like bass tonal quality which central Italian zampogne just don't have. And of course the modernized tenor (played with the left thumb) which is Ricci's own invention. #Italian #Bagpipes #zampogna #zampogne #Molisana #Molise #centralItaly #centralItalian #Pietro #Ricci #PietroRicci
