   • 1975, Francis M. Collinson, The bagpipe: the history of a musical instrument, page 188:

     The musician on the left is playing the zampogna, a bagpipe with two chanters and two drones. The zampogna is thought to be the bag-provided descendant of the ancient mouth-blown divergent pipes of the Romans, known as the tibia.

• IPA^(key): ^*/d͡zamˈpoɲ.ɲa/, (traditional) ^*/t͡samˈpoɲ.ɲa/
• Rhymes: -oɲɲa
• Hyphenation: zam‧pó‧gna

From Latin symphōnia (possibly influenced, through folk etymology, by zampa (“paw, leg of an animal”) in Italian, as bagpipes are traditionally made of leather with the hair still on), from Ancient Greek συμφωνία (sumphōnía). Cf. also Romanian cimpoi, cimpoaie, Portuguese sanfonha. Doublet of sinfonia.
