  Gaida - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The gaida (also spelled "gajda") is a bagpipe from South Eastern Europe (The Balkans).
It has 8 holes in it: the top four are covered by the thumb and first three fingers of the left hand, then the four fingers of the right hand cover the remaining four holes.
An important feature of the gaida's chanter (which it shares with a number of other Eastern European bagpipes) is the "flea-hole" (also known as a mumbler or voicer) which is covered by the index finger of the left hand.

 NYSHA - Horse Marie Gaida Trainer Convicted of Animal Cruelty
On May 14, 1997, Marie Gaida, a horse trainer from Colonie, NY, was convicted of cruelty to her 19 thoroughbred horses.
The horses were found last summer on Gaida's property, suffering from extreme emaciation, rain scald, abscessed feet, lice and other serious medical problems.
Unfortunately, Marie Gaida has other horses at the Saratoga Race Track, and because horses are by law considered "farm animals," she can go out the day after conviction and purchase as many more as she wants.

Gaidas of several sorts are found in Macedonia, Bulgaria, Rumania and Albania.
It is said that this is the instrument which inspired the famous (well, famous among pipers at least) saying "A wedding without a bagpipe is like a funeral." The gaida flourishes in the region and has always maintained its active place culturally, to an extent not seen elsewhere except in Scotland.
The angled "beak" at the end of the chanter, made of horn, is a vestigial reminder of the early hornpipe from which this pipe peobably decended.

At this time Gaida's probable coup d'etat was a live subject of discussion in the east, and the general opinion was held that the Czechs would support Gaida.
Gaida was not working with the Czechs during the preparation for his revolution.
The presence of the Czechs undoubtedly had a re-straining influence on Rozanoff in the disposition of Gaida, as they would not have permitted Gaida and the few Czechs with him, to be brutally murdered as were the Russians, or many of them that fell into Rozanoff's hands.

Gaida players can never be tamed - possibly domesticated and acclimated to other humans, but taming is out of the question.

 Born to Lead - January/February 2004
Gaida pinpoints the creation of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), a sub-arm of the SEC, as another fundamental change that will dictate how leaders operate in the business marketplace from here on out.
Private industry and nonprofit organizations, for example, both are looking at the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and putting additional pressure on their CPAs to step up to the plate and help them operate under the new rules and regulations.
To fill that need, Gaida says the best leaders will challenge the process, continually question what a particular organization is doing, and constantly attempt to bring the entity to new heights of professionalism and success.

Bulgaria is one of the few places where the bagpipe never really went into steep decline, perhaps because the country as a whole remained a bit remote from the rapid changes of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
The gaida in its more common orchestral variety has remained the national instrument there in the same way the Great Highland pipe has in Scotland.
The Kaba Gaida, however, is a bit of a different beast, not just an enlarged and lower-pitched ordinary gaida.

At that time I was living in London and had started learning Macedonian music through my involvement with the band that played for the Zivko Firfov dance group, and in 1978 1 travelled with that group to Macedonia to perform at the Bitola Festival.
One night while busking with the gaida outside Hoyts cinema complex in Sydney, about 15 young Macedonian men started dancing to the music and I soon discovered a rich and thriving Macedonian culture alive and well in Sydney.
