- Timorous indeed.
-
- For those who might not know, the pommer is essentially the chanter.
- (To avoid redundancy, I shall not say "the chanter of a bagpipe.")
-
- I once contra danced to a bagpipe. One is enough.
-
- (You got me, btw. The pommer is the bombarde, which I had already
- mentioned. I didn't make that connection until just now.)
-
- While we're on the subject of odd instruments, anyone know what a Xibomba is?
-
- I tried to look it up. The closest I got was "yapok." An aquatic
- opossum. Cute critter.
