Planargia (in Sardu: Pianàlza) and Montiferru (regions in Central Western Sardinia; principal towns: Bosa and Cuglieri); Guarnerio only mentions (in Graziadio Isaia Ascoli, »Archivio glottologico italiano«, vol.14 (1898)) the singular form in Sassarese spelling (Truḅeḍḍa), which he considers a derivative from Pisanian "trobba" (from the etymon "tǔba" [trumpet]), and defines it as "a kind of zampogna"; NB: ➺ Triedda, Truedda, Trumbeddas, and Truvedda.
