Binioù

[1] The oldest native bagpipe in Brittany is the veuze, from which the binioù kozh is thought to be derived.

The binioù bras is essentially the same as the Scottish great Highland bagpipe; sets are manufactured by Breton makers or imported from Scotland or elsewhere.

[1] More traditional forms have a single drone, while modern instruments sometimes have two.

Traditionally it is played in duet with the talabard, a double-reed instrument which sounds an octave below the binioù chanter, for Breton folk dancing.

The binioù bras is typically used as part of a bagad band, although it is sometimes also paired with a talabard.
