    Description

    Traditional Bulgarian Bagpipe KABA gaida E / mi, professional instrument hand-made, New production
    This is the traditional Bulgarian folk instrument "KABA GAIDA", the most popular type of Bulgarian bagpipes (from the Rhodope mountains). It is characterized by a large bag, a chanter and a drone. The chanter  is cylindrical or hexagonal, with a slight curve at its lower end. The sound is unique, deep and beautiful, taking you to the soft green hills of his home, the Rodopa Mountains.
    Traditionally, the wooden parts are made of plum wood (well dried over 5 years), while the reeds are made of willow wood. The chanter is connected to the bag by a beautiful cow- horn piece. The bag is made of the skin of a young goat. The gaida is in the most typical for the instrument key - E / mi. Measures: chanter, called "gaidunitsa - 29,5 cm / 11,6“ ; drainpipe "ruchilo" - 88 cm / 34,6" .
    Unique musical instrument with unique sound, handmade by old traditional technology, by a famous old master.
    You have been buying a musical instrument made by a professional craftsman and musician, well known to all in the craft for over 45 years. Don't take the risk of cheap tools made as souvenirs by beginners.
    Additional information:
    The name of our Kaba Gaida master is M. Tashkov. He has been making gaida instruments for more than 45 years now. He started playing the bagpipe when he was a little child. He took part in the famous ensembles in the village of Guella, the towns of Devin, Smolyan and Shiroka Luka. He worked for the Devin cultural activities club both as a musician and a gaida instructor. M. Tashkov has been an inseparable part of the world known folk ensemble “100 Kaba Gaidi”.
    He has been awarded a great number of prizes: 6 gold medals of Koprivshtitsa folklore festival (the most popular Bulgarian festival of recent times). Four of the medals were awarded for individual performances, and one- for a folk ensemble instructor. Mr. Tashkov was also honored with 5 silver medals from the Rozhen gathering, numberless certificates, badges and other prizes from both Bulgarian and foreign competitions.
    The reason why Master Tashkov is such a popular and respected gaida master is that he manages to preserve the authentic sound of Kaba Gaida. He avoids combining the way kaba and djura gaida sound. He insists on the purity of sound and specificity of Kaba Gaida, the voice of the Rhodope Mountain.
