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] |

Dulzaina
The dulzaina () or dolçaina (/) is a Spanish double reed instrument in the oboe family. It has a conical shape and is the equivalent of the Breton bombarde. It is often replaced by an oboe or a double reeded clarinet as seen in Armenian and Ukrainian folk music. Many varieties of the dulzaina exist in Spain. In the Valencian Community, it is known as a ''dolçaina'' or ''xirimita'' and is accompanied by a drum called the ''tabalet''. The Catalan variety of the dulzaina is called a '' gralla'', and the Basque variety is called a ''bolin-gozo''. The term ''dolçaina'' was introduced into Catalan in the 14th century from France (the ancient word was "douçaine"). In the region of Aragon, especially in the town of Huesca, the dulzaina is played along with ''gaitas de boto'', regional bagpipes, and sometimes drums. The instrument was first introduced in Spain through Arabic people. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bagpipe
Bagpipes are a woodwind instrument using enclosed reeds fed from a constant reservoir of air in the form of a bag. The Great Highland bagpipes are well known, but people have played bagpipes for centuries throughout large parts of Europe, Northern Africa, Western Asia, around the Persian Gulf and northern parts of South Asia. The term ''bagpipe'' is equally correct in the singular or the plural, though pipers usually refer to the bagpipes as "the pipes", "a set of pipes" or "a stand of pipes". Construction A set of bagpipes minimally consists of an air supply, a bag, a chanter, and usually at least one drone. Many bagpipes have more than one drone (and, sometimes, more than one chanter) in various combinations, held in place in stocks—sockets that fasten the various pipes to the bag. Air supply The most common method of supplying air to the bag is through blowing into a blowpipe or blowstick. In some pipes the player must cover the tip of the blowpipe with their ton ...

Snakeskin
Snakeskin may either refer to the skin of a live snake, the shed skin of a snake after molting, or to a type of leather that is made from the hide of a dead snake. Snakeskin and scales can have varying patterns and color formations, providing protection via camouflage from predators. The colors and iridescence in these scales are largely determined by the types and amount of chromatophores located in the dermis of the snake skin. The snake's skin and scales are also an important feature to their locomotion, providing protection and minimizing friction when gliding over surfaces. Skin of a living snake In a living snake, its skin often deals with various forms of abrasion. To combat rough substrates, snakes have formed specialized and multilayered organizational epidermal structures to provide a safe and efficient sliding locomotion when maneuvering over rough surfaces. Display Pattern formation Snakes can be ornately patterned. They can be striped, banded, solid, green, bl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
