Workshop | Ciambrogna with Massimiliano Di Carlo (Marche)

The term “Ciambrogna” is used in Piceno to name the Jew’s harp. It is an instrument that was once widespread, now existing in the memories of a few elderly individuals who have, however, passed on the knowledge of this instrument to our days. Ciambrogna was used to accompany the singing of folk songs in Spinetoli, Appignano del Tronto, Castel di Lama (as documented by a recording made by Giorgio Nataletti in 1965 in the Sambuco district).
