OK, this isn't exactly Jewish music, but someone on this list could
probably help this guy.

JOHN DeMETRICK, currently in Cluj, is doing some research on the 
Romanian bagpipe, the cimpoi. He writes:  "I would be interested in 
hearing from anyone out there that has something to say about the 
subject. I am looking for information concerning history, recordings, 
personal experiences, etc. Currently I am creating a research 
catalogue to all the recordings of cimpoi in the major ethnographic 
archives in Cluj and Bucuresti. I will expand my research as time 
goes on, For instance, I would like to amplify the catalogue to 
include any commercially produced recordings abroad. I hope that 
someone out there has some more information for me concerning 
recordings? In any event at least send any comments, anecdotes, or 
whatever you have to say about the cimpoi to me! It would be useful 
to create some sort of database of cimpoi players so send me your 
contact info.
