Trying to make a wrongly-kept secret known by uploading this to reach out to wider audiences because nobody would otherwise know how insanely cool Italian bagpipes are.
Not familiar with Italian bagpipes? I encourage you to download this plain text dictionary I put together about these instruments. You will seriously learn a ton of things you never knew, and I don't want this to be entirely secret so this is my best way of getting the word out. This link will be updated whenever future modifications to the dictionary are made, so if you don't have the latest version, no worries. Last updated: 12/31/2023

#Italian #bagpipes
It looks like a Leonardo da Vinci blueprint brought to life.
Cool! As a blind person, while visual drawings and paintings might not mean much to me, I've definitely heard of him before. At one of the gardens around town they have a huge bronze sculpture of a horse running which was either one of his works or was inspired by it.
Amazing. They should have used this in Dune
LOL thanks! Now, mind you, I didn't actually record this clip. Keep in mind I didn't actually record this. Problem is, too many Italian pipers don't know how to speak English which is clearly and obviously THE WORST THING EVER, so I didn't know what to do other than by "borrowing" as it were a Facebook video from a big Facebook page specializing in Italian piping.
Neighbors don't want you to know about this one instrument!
Jokes aside, it sounds absolutely massive.
LOL thanks.
I have seen this instrument played live, and it is truly amazing!
That's INSANE!!! When and where did you see this live? And you're sure this was an 8 palmi? I'm sure people have seen zampogne played live, but I really don't know about specifically an 8 palmi.
And that instrument is the marching type. The studio version is twice the size!
LOL!!!!!!!
hugely exciting discovery!!!! I had no idea that Bagpipes in this range existed, I dabbled in the Uilleann pipes as part of my musical journey a couple of decades ago, heartfelt thanks for putting this out there, of course Italy would have bagpipes! Pesto Pasta Pizza & Bagpipes....go Italy!!!!!!
Glad you love this! If you look at the description I linked to a dictionary about these instruments so that it's no longer a wrongly kept secret that isn't meant to be secret. Also, honestly I've never learned how to actually video-record as a blind person so I'm taking it from a Facebook page and the original person who recorded it doesn't really care, he won't understand English (I use Google Translator for everything).
Italy has an interesting variety of bagpipes, all on variations of one basic concept: two separate chanters playing two-part, plus drones. This is a unique case in the world of bagpipes, which by itself is extremely wide and varied. Check for bagpipes from almost any European country, from all of North Africa, from around the Persian Gulf and the Arab peninsula, from Black Sea and Caucasus. Wherever people thought "ok, let's join pipes and a bag" they ALWAYS came up with something different!!
@@kabouktli You nailed it, that's EXACTLY 100 percent why I think the Italian zampogna is seriously the coolest instrument in the world!
@@kabouktli Italy has even single chanter bagpipes in the North, roughly similar to the Galician gaita.
@@nicolocrippa8514 Yes, they have those too, but that's not something so unique. Many different musical cultures have come up with the idea of one melody pipe + drone(s). The zampogne with each hand on a separate chanter are something more peculiar, and also, I think that the latter are genuinely alive without interruption of the old oral tradition, whereas the ones with one chanter only revived.
i have never seen or heard this instrument before. cheers!
Glad you love this! This wasn't a recording I made but it was on a hard-to-find Facebook page run by Italian pipers which only Italians or Italian bagpipe fans will ever find. Trying to make a wrongly-kept secret known by uploading this to reach out to wider audiences because nobody would otherwise know how insanely cool Italian bagpipes are, compared to Scottish Highland pipes. So if it can only be found on a niche Facebook page and wrongly kept a frickin' secret, why not upload it to YT? The only thing I hate about Italian bagpipes is that it's a wrongly kept secret NOT MEANT TO BE SECRET!
Just so you know, I made a link to a dictionary of zampogna terms so as to make it easier to get the word out. I put it in the description.
This looks like something dr Seuss would draw
LOL!!!!!!!! I'm blind though, so I wouldn't know firsthand. I actually stole this actual video from an Italian Facebook page where NOBODY speaks English (used Google Translator to read it).
I bet his neighbors just love him ;)
LOL!!!!!
I love the resonance of the instrument! I'm much more familiar with the uilleann pipes (not Italian), but I love how pretty the low tones can sound!
Glad you also love this! Just to warn you I didn't record this. Literally I thought of including videos (instead of just audio files on a black background which I've always done) just to attract more subscribers. Thing is, as a blind person I've never been able to make videos 'cause I obviously can't see, and I'm not living with anyone who can help me with the camera and all that. And I learned the hard way most people are more reactive to visual stuff which is a definite BOO in the blind world. Plus, as I mentioned to someone else, this wasn't a recording I made but it was on a hard-to-find Facebook page run by Italian pipers which only Italians or Italian bagpipe fans will ever find.

@michaelkazmierskidunn7189 I have heard of Italian bagpipes, but not these type of bagpipes, I am a piper myself but on the Scottish Highland bagpipes.
Grandios!
Polyrhythmic pipes enabled by two chanters.
That's exactly why Italian bagpipes are my favorite! Definitely check out my channel to hear more music. Or for a start, try this link here. czcams.com/play/PLcVt0igxXY2-yVo3k-GNoAFDKUCNnLG9W.html
It’s glorious!!
lol!!!!
What in the ever loving huh! Cool!
I'm glad you love that!!! This is my favorite instrument in the world!!!!!!!!!!
Glorious.
wonderful. Wish to know the history of this thing.
Here you go. Here's a dictionary about Italian piping, which gives some historical accounts as well. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/pysxqok9evu85mpy09kiw/Zampogna-dictionary-12-31-2023.txt?rlkey=9kwcj0okc0mnfxzv9bq4adoj4&dl=1
I dont know what that is but it sounds cool
Those are Italian bagpipes you weirdo. LOL, just kidding. But yes, those are Italian bagpipes.
Monster Hunter hunting horn mains be like
LOL
Awesome armonic sound !!!❤❤
LOVE this!
Thanks!
That is insanely cool.
Glad you love this!!!!!!!! To be honest, I wish I had more clips like these, but unfortunately these instruments are so hard to play which is why you'll mostly see people playing smaller Italian bagpipes anymore. But if you really wanna be surprised, look up this girl named Lucia Quattrocchi (spelling matters LOL). She's the first woman to play one of those instruments. The clip of Lucia is also on my own channel.
Crazy.
I'll take "things more annoying than a bag pipe" for 500 Alex.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
Try marching through India with this on your shoulder.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!
That is one awesome pipe .
Glad you love it too! In fact, I far prefer Italian zampogne better than Highland pipes myself just because the zampogna is far cooler (with two chanters, sometimes even 3 different chanters on some modern varieties!). So that always keeps things interesting! Keep in mind I didn't actually record this. Problem is, too many Italian pipers don't know how to speak English which is clearly and obviously THE WORST THING EVER, so I didn't know what to do other than by "borrowing" as it were a Facebook video from a big Facebook page specializing in Italian piping.
im scottish 🏴 you might have heard this about us, but we’re quite familiar with bag pipes here already 😅😅
I used Zamoogna as a clock, to know what time is it. In the night, when I wanted to know the hours, took my Zampogna in the room and played, then neighboors screamed "who the hell is playing Zampogna at 3:00 A.M???" Then I knew the time.
LOL!!!!!!
Early bagpipes?
Not really.
nice
We need more sir!
Wish I had more clips to be honest. Not very many, unfortunately. They're really hard to play, but until someone FINALLY hires me for a job (nobody wants me for anything) I'll be sure to record myself playing one as frequently as I can.
Bro when'd they start making Hunting Horns irl?
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gives us scots a literal run for the money
LOL!
As a scot I approve 😂😂
It looks like a cross between a french bassoon and a shawm
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
@PiperAlly have you seen this?
Ya SCARED me! If a girl were to pick up that exact zampogna that would be the near DEATH of me!!!!!! See, for some reason, I've always been afraid of / scared of female pipers ever since I started learning. I literally thought that the violin for example, at least the classical iteration, was an exclusively female instrument, so that's why I never took it up. As an example of gendered instrumentalists, the classical violin in my experience is pretty much a strictly female-dominant instrument (I only know 2 other guys who play it). And the flute too. Literally EVERY SINGLE flute player in my class cohort were all girls, so I thought, "No, I'm not playing the flute 'cause I'm a guy." same thing. "I'm not playing violin because ONLY females play it." at least back then. Sure, I know of some famous male violinists from the record days, but I'm hard pressed to hear of any modern male world-class flute or violinist in our modern day. Now I've never really had a gender-based opinion on the recorder 'cause I haven't really heard too many professional recorder players growing up, so I thought it was more of a gender-neutral thing. Same with piano, growing up with fellow students of both genders, I didn't think only one gender played piano either. Bagpipes though? When I met Sophia and Bonnie, they scared the LIVING MAZZILLO out of me! Hearing about girls playing the bagpipes which I thought was an exclusively male instrument forever? Well, Anne Kuypers but she wasn't that great. So I meant more like in the top tier. And then of course, when I discovered that Maria Varalli was the first female Italian bagpipe player in 2018 that scared me a little, but it wasn't until I heard about Lucia Quatrocchi being the first female to ever play a bass sized Italian bagpipe that this was the ultimate scare. Even worse, she was with two GUYS on the soprano instrument, and honestly, the guys who aren't makers of that instrument pretty much just SUCK! So it's the weirdest thing in the world to have a female playing a low pitched instrument and a guy playing a high-pitched instrument kind of like Lucia and her friends. The video of Lucia is also on my channel, maybe type in 'Lucia Italian bagpipe'.
It's tremendous. That one needs a chariot to transport and a compressor to run. As for the sound, well...
LOL! CZcams was being SUPER MEAN last night I didn't see your comment until just now. Would've seen it last night if it weren't so MEAN!
That entire cocafahnee came out of just one musical instrument?
Doesn't this instrument actually measure 8 1/2 palmi (not 8 palmi)?
That I'm not sure of. The only thing people said on the Italian piping Facebook page I'm subscribed to just told me "8 palmi", straight "8 palmi". I "stole" the video from that page, but of course, the Italians don't care.
That is god awful! Awesome!
Glad you love it!!!!!!! It's my favorite instrument in the WORLD as well!!!!! Keep in mind I didn't actually record this. Problem is, too many Italian pipers don't know how to speak English which is clearly and obviously THE WORST THING EVER, so I didn't know what to do other than by "borrowing" as it were a Facebook video from a big Facebook page specializing in Italian piping.
BEWARE!!!!!!! This video has received its first HATE comment!!!!!!!!!!! ATTENTION HATERS: DON'T YOU DARE SAY A WORD! If you hate bagpipes, THEN FUCKING GO THE FUCK AWAY!
Hate it.
Just kidding! It rocks!
@@JosephFullerton LOL. Appreciate your sarcasm! I can tell. Mind you I'm usually the worst at telling honesty apart from sarcasm.
Fucking right! Haters can go suck it.
Better than bagpipes but still...I just don't find drones pleasant.
Hmm. Maybe you're hearing the highest drone of the whole instrument drowning everything out. I HATE that myself. That super high drone of the whole instrument, I'd NEVER use it. But it could be worse though! Some rare examples of zampogne this size literally add a tenor-zampogna's sopranina/sopranino, making a "sopranissima", with three drones at three different octaves, where the sopranissimo sounds one octave higher than the sopranino / highest soprano chanter note. WORST, THING, EVER!!!!!!!! Like I said, I HATE that high drone I'd quite literally BURN it if I were to get a zampogna, because a high pitched squeaky ugly drone drowning everything out just doesn't make ANY BIT OF SENSE WHATSOEVER!Now an evil Italian pipemaker told me it should be that way, and needless to say, he and I are out of touch 'cause he and I disagreed about EVERYTHING. In his opinion, the drones should be the only thing you hear, and the melody should not be audible at all. Absolutely sure this guy's DRUNK!!!!!!!!
It is cool but the drone completely covers up the melody
I TOTALLY feel you there!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I'm not a fan of that at all. Especially the USELESS highest drone of the whole instrument, I'd NEVER use it. But it could be worse though!

@@michaelkazmierskidunn7189 That is odd. I love drones in bagpipes, but they have to be the fabric, or pillars upon which the melody is written
@@The_Gallowglass TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now here's the thing though. With double reeds which power this zampogna, the later they start sounding given an increasing amount of pressure, the louder they will be. In my opinion, a zampogna would sound best if the highest of the 2 drones is either the weakest reed or eliminated altogether, followed by the two chanters coming in together, and the tenor drone being loudest (because it's categoricly weaker than the other 3 pipes, especially if it's the quietest reed). On most sets of Italian pipes, the tenor drone is often nonexistent.
Random bloke? .
LOL.
WHY DID THIS COMMENT GET DELETED!!!! Someone said: "It's tremendous. That one needs a chariot to transport and a compressor to run. As for the sound, well..."
My reply would've been: LOL.
