Pumpa is a term that can refer to several different things, most commonly a type of pump or a musical instrument. In the context of a pump, it is a device used to move fluids, such as water or oil, by mechanical action. These pumps can be powered by electricity, manual effort, or internal combustion engines and are found in a wide variety of applications, from household appliances like washing machines to industrial machinery and agricultural irrigation systems. The specific design and function of a pump vary greatly depending on its intended use.

As a musical instrument, "pumpa" typically refers to a type of bellows-driven instrument. These instruments often produce sound by forcing air through reeds or pipes, similar to an accordion or an organ. The player operates a bellows, usually by hand or foot, to create the airflow. The sound is then modulated by keys, buttons, or fingerholes. This type of pump instrument is found in various folk music traditions around the world, often characterized by its distinctive reedy or brassy tone. The exact design and name can differ regionally, but the principle of using a bellows to generate sound remains consistent.
