The most common type of bagpipes in Irish traditional music. *Great Irish Warpipes: First reference to the Irish bagpipes was in 1206 Carried by most Irish regiments of the British Army or mercenaries for centuries including in Henry VIII of Englands army, up until the 1960s (except the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers) when the Great Highland Bagpipe became standard. The War pipe differed from the latter only in having a single tenor drone. Great Irish war pipes fell out of use for centuries due to the British outlawing them, the Scottish bagpipes took the place of the Irish bagpipes role in the British army, which is when the bagpipes became wrongly associated with Scotland. *Brian Boru bagpipes: Carried by the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers and had three drones, one of which was a baritone, pitch ...

Gaita Transmontana
The gaita transmontana or gaita de foles mirandesa is a type of bagpipe native to the Trás-os-Montes region of Portugal. History The most ancient records of this instrument date from the 18th century, mostly written. Its culture has been passed since then from father to son until the 20th century, with some small differences from region to region. In Portugal, it can be found mainly in Trás-os-Montes region, specially in Vinhais, Bragança, Miranda and Mogadouro, but also in Guarda and Castelo Branco. Some Portuguese regiments from Minho, Trás-os-Montes and Guarda used the bagpipes to mark the marching cadence, although the standard marching pattern of the Portuguese infantry regiments was the same as the French. Northern Portugal, specially above the Douro river, is a very mountainous region, where the sound of bagpipes can be heard miles away due to the resonance effect created by the oppressive humidity and altitude. The gaita transmontana has a peculiarly grave ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gaita Zuliana
Gaita zuliana (often simply called "gaita") is a style of Venezuelan folk music (and dance) from Maracaibo, Zulia State. According to Joan Coromines, it may come from the word "''gaits''," the Gothic word for "goat", which is the skin generally used for the membrane of the furro drum. Other instruments used in gaita include maracas, cuatro, charrasca and tambora. Song themes range from the romantic to the political. The style became popular throughout Venezuela in the 1960s, and it fused with other styles such as salsa and merengue in the 1970s. It is not to be confused with the ''gaita escocesa,'' also known simply as ''gaita'', which is Spanish for bagpipes. Famous gaita groups include Cardenales del Éxito, Rincón Morales, Estrellas del Zulia, Barrio Obrero, Gran Coquivacoa, Saladillo, Universidad de la Gaita, Koquimba, Melody Gaita, and Maracaibo 15. The group Guaco started as a gaita group but now plays a unique and distinct style of music influenced by many Afro-Caribbea ...

Kuisi
A kuisi (or kuizi) is a Native Colombian fipple (or duct) flute made from a hollowed cactus stem, with a beeswax and charcoal powder mixture for the head, with a thin quill made from the feather of a large bird for the mouthpiece. Seagull, turkey and eagle feathers are among the feathers commonly used. Kuisi bunsi and kuisi sigi There are male and female versions of the kuisi (or gaita, the Spanish for pipe). The female ''kuisi bunsi'' (also rendered ''kuisi abundjí'' in Spanish) is also commonly known as a ''gaita hembra'' in Spanish, and has 5 holes; the male ''kuisi sigi'' (or ''kuisi azigí'') is called a ''gaita macho'' in Spanish and has two holes. Players often use wax to close fingerholes and alter the sound of the flute, blocking one or other tone hole on the kuisi sigi, and on the kuisi bunzi either the upper or lower fingerhole so that only four holes are in use at any one time. The change of wax from one fingerhole to another alters the fundamental tone and seri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gaita Navarra
The gaita narvarra is a double reeded flute-like folk instrument originating from Navarra, Spain. The gaita narvarra is very similar to the Spanish folk instrument known as the dulzaina. Both are variants of shawms, from Spain. The reeds of the gaita are very similar to bassoon reeds. While the word ''gaita'' is commonly translated from Spanish as "bagpipe", many instruments which share the term in part of their name bear little resemblance to bagpipes. The gaita navarra utilizes double reeds and most resembles an oboe, unable to be considered a true bagpipe in that it lacks a bag or drone.

Gaita Gastoreña
The gaita gastoreña is a type of hornpipe native to El Gastor, a region of Andalucia, Spain. It consists of a simple reed, a wooden tube in its upper part, and a resonating bell of horn in its lower part. Such instruments are only found outside El Gastor in Madrid and in the Basque Country (see: alboka The Basque ( es, albogue) is a single-reed woodwind instrument consisting of a single reed, two small diameter melody pipes with finger holes and a bell traditionally made from animal horn. Additionally, a reed cap of animal horn is placed arou ...). Traditionally, the gaita gastoreña was played from November on. The youth played the hornpipe around the fire for entertainment during the long nights at the close of the year. After the end of the Christmas festivities, the hornpipe would not be played until the following year. Currently, the hornpipe is played for the festivals of Corpus Christi and Christmas in El Gastor. External linksToque tradicional de gaita gast ...

In playing, the fingering is generally open, though some players use semi-closed touches. The instrument was in decline in the 20th century and nearly extinct by the 1980s, but subsequent revivals, aided in part by the Escuela de Folclore de Puebla de Sanabria has led to a new local popularity for the instrument.

Gaita Asturiana
The ''gaita asturiana'' is a type of bagpipe native to the autonomous communities of Principality of Asturias on the northern coast of Spain. Differences from other Iberian gaitas *The ''gaita asturiana'' is of larger size than the ''Galician gaita'' of the same key; that is to say, its pipes are of longer dimensions. The reed of the chanter (''payuela'') is of smaller size than the ''galician'' reed. Compared to the ''galician'', the finger holes are distributed differently, making it easier to extend to the 4th of the second octave with a simple increase in air pressure on the bag (''fuelle''), a method known as ''requintar''. *In the autonomous community of Cantabria this gaita is also called ''gaita astur-cántabra'' or ''gaita cántabra'', though it is identical in construction. Attestation The first evidence for the existence of the ''gaita asturiana'' dates back to the 13th century, as a piper can be seen carved into the capital of the church of Santa María de Villavic ...

Gaita De Saco
The gaita de saco (or ''de bota'') is a type of bagpipe native to the provinces of Soria, La Rioja, Álava, and Burgos in north-central Spain. In the past, it may also have been played in Segovia and Ávila. It consists of a single chanter (''puntero'') holding a double reed which plays the melody, and single drone (''ronco''), which has a single reed and plays a constant bass note. In La Rioja, the instrument is called ''bota'' or ''gaita de bota'', supposedly to differentiate it from the folk oboe also called ''gaita''. Its use in the past was more extensive throughout the regional valleys, but is now reduced to a zone around the high Najerilla until the 1950s when it disappeared along with the traditional dances to which was historically linked. Currently, the instrument is being revived along with the traditional dances in certain villages, such as Ventrosa de la Sierra and Viniegra de Arriba. The name is clearly related to the gaita gallega and gaita asturiana ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gaita De Boto
The ''gaita de boto'' is a type of bagpipe native to the Aragon region of northern Spain. Its use and construction were nearly extinct by the 1970s, when a revival of folk music began. Today there are various ''gaita'' builders, various schools and associations for ''gaita'' players, and more than a dozen Aragonese folk music groups which include the instrument in their ensemble. Most importantly, there are now several hundred ''gaiteros'' within Aragon. Construction The gaita de boto consists of * a bag (''boto'') to provide air * a blowpipe (''soplador'') to fill the bag with air by mouth * a chanter (''clarín'') to play the melody * a bass drone (''bordón'') to produce a continuous bass note * a tenor drone (''bordoneta'') which produces a constant note an octave higher than the ''bordón'' The bag is traditionally made of goatskin and of large volume. At the hole in the skin corresponding to the neck of the goat they attach a stock with two holes where the ''clarín'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
