The piva is a type of bagpipe played in Northern Italy and the Italian-speaking areas of Switzerland, such as Ticino. The instrument has a single chanter and single drone. In Italy it was traditionally played in an ensemble with the piffero (folk oboe) until the piva was replaced by the accordion in the 1950s. The piva appears to have died out in Switzerland in the 19th century, but was revived in 1980 by Swiss-German folk musician Urs Klauser.

  • La piva o piva emiliana è una cornamusa italiana in uso nell'Appennino parmense e piacentino. Nel Piacentino si diffuse prevalentemente nelle valli del Nure e dell'Arda, mentre nelle restanti vallate prese piede l'utilizzo della müsa. L'uso di questo strumento venne abbandonato nel periodo immediatamente successivo alla Seconda Guerra Mondiale. Era uno strumento solista usato prevalentemente per il ballo. Dagli anni ottanta del secolo scorso è iniziato un recupero dello strumento ad opera di numerosi gruppi musicali attivi nel Modenese e in altre zone dell'Emilia-Romagna.
