Gaida, and the neighbouring word gajda, names a family of bagpipes rather than one blueprint. A bag holds air. A chanter, with a reed, plays the melody. One or more drones hold a note underneath it. Bore, scale, and decoration change between regions: what a player in Thrace calls a gaida is related to, and not identical with, the instrument under a similar name further west or south.
It belongs in this catalogue because LogoFil’s musical ear does not stop at the ancient world. Folk instruments are not survivals in a museum sense, waiting to illustrate a paragraph about the aulos. They are living tools, with players, repertoires, and arguments about how loud the drone should be.
The useful comparison with the aulos is the reed, not a romantic claim that one descended from the other. Both put a reed between breath and melody. Hearing them in the same afternoon does more than a paragraph can. The recording slot is here for that afternoon.
Recording
A recording belongs here. Add an audio URL on the instrument, and the player will take this slot.
