Mittelaltersackpfeife

How does this differ from the Mittelaltersackpfeife? Badagnani (talk) 08:10, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Czech dudy (fem. pl.) and the very similar Eastern Bavarian Bock have been in continuous use for the last five centuries. The ″medieval bagpipe″, however, is a reconstruction, originally from the GDR, based on 15th century instruments, but suited to the requirements of renaissance fairs and neo-medieval music, especially with a modern equal temperament. It is designed to be loud and spectacular, while the dudy and bock are made to accompany traditional dances (e.g. polka) and are not so loud and more melodious. Both chanter and drone of the dudy / bock end in a typical bell made of cow horn at a 90 ° angle, they are blown by bellows (which allows the player to sing), and the head of the drone often is shaped in the form of a carved goat's head (see picture). The medieval bagpipe or market bagpipe has a straight and very conical chanter and drone for high volume. It is usually blown by mouth.

Czech dudy are seen as very traditionally Czech instruments, and the bock likewise can be used to mark one's identity as a person from the Bavarian Forest or the Upper Palatine Forest as against the state capital Munich. The medieval bagpipe does not bear such connotations. --Curryfranke (talk) 12:56, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
