I believe they would probably just call something like this a Zampogna A Chiave con Bordone modificato. But who knows!

Sean, not sure I agree with that, but I could be wrong!. I think it's exactly the same as a Neopolitan A Chiave but with third drone tuned to the Bass chanter tonic?? Also, is it possible that your statement of the poor sound quality might be a misinterpretation of the timbre of the instrument? The sound quality seems fine to me for youtube standards. I have always thought that the main differences between the Southern Calabrian A Chiave and that of the Neopolitan was that the Southern C. had the third drone tuned to the tonic and that the timbre was diff due to internal bore and bell design.Video #1 Ciarmella di Compari Tigani this Ciarmella is exactly like a Sicilian
Ciarmedda, except for the Calabrian Style of Playing. Nice Piping
(but not great sound recording and that's true for many of these Videos,
but I don't have the really good hook-up or can I down-load the really high resolution
programing on my computer).
This pipe is the Classic "A Moderna" pipe which I guess is different from the A Moderna pipe in video 3. The pipe in Video 3 I am completely unfamiliar with other than that particular video. If I am not mistaken the pipe in Video 4 (and yes this is crappy sound quality) is tuned the same way as the pipe in video 1 except that it has single reeds and no key.Video #4 Mimmo Morello....as the Camera Man has the Microphone aimed directly
at the High "Sqeeker" Drone (a high pitched 5th) it's tough to listen to it.
It's another Calabrian "Zoppa" with unequal size Chanters, but the overlapping Scale
of one Octave on 2 Chanters. Nice Piping by that young man, even though the
sound is so bad.
