The titti (Telugu: titti,[1] masaka titti, or tutti) is a type of bagpipe played in Andhra Pradesh, India, made from an entire goat-skin.[2] The instrument is described as a goatskin with a double-reed inserted into one leg, and a bamboo blowpipe into the other.[3] The term tittii is used in Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.[4]
History[edit | edit source]
Several paintings possibly depicting bagpipes are shown in Kerala, from the early eighteenth century.[5]
Colonel James Tod (1782–1835 CE) notes that the Yanadis, a forest tribe in Madras, also play the bagpipes,[6][7]
Usage[edit | edit source]
The instrument is often used to provide solely a constant drone. References note the instrument being used as a drone accompaniment by storytellers and singers,[8][9] as well as for village dance-dramas.[10]
