scrannel

To one who has heard the guns of Verdun, this piping is somewhat scrannel.

The shell they struck gave a more melodious sound than the rough and scrannel pipe cut from the northern forests.

Let us respect the mystery of the craft—have we not all dabbled in verse and essayed to play upon the scrannel-pipe?

Suspicion, take it all in all, is the most tedious and scrannel of the sins.

Would not some poor scrannel-pipe, ill-blown, be nearer the mark?
