The World of Bagpipes : France

Chabra



This instrument can have either a Cabrette or a Cornemuse Chanter with the tenor drone arrangement as the Cabrette along with the associated difficulties of this combination in the lower pitches, however it also has a bass drone and this is reliable thus providing an alternative to the Cabrette for those who want a drone.

It is available in most pitches. Mouth or bellows blown

See also "Musette Jousse" & "Cabrette"

 


Materials : Box,  fruit or exotic hardwood with mounts of horn, Bone or Ivory.
