The Zampogna is a bagpipe from Italy. It is unusual in that there are two chanter pipes - one for each hand - that play the melody. All four pipes have long double reeds : air from the bag is squeezed over these reeds to produce the zampogna's organlike sound. Accompanied by the ciaramella, the zampogna is played in towns, especially around Christmas.
