Chabrette
The chabrette or chabrette limousine (''chabreta'' in Occitan Limousin) is a type of bagpipe native to the Limousin region of central France. In Périgord, there is a pipe locally known as the ''chabrette'' which shares many features with the ''chabrette limousine'' (''boîtier à miroir'', ''hautbois à pavillon'', materials, etc.), but also several distinct differences (''petite taille donc tonalité aigüe, bourdon latéral à l'unisson du petit bourdon'') which distinguish it from its "big sister" of Limousin. The '' cabrette auvergnate'' (generally made in Paris currently) gradually replaced the native bagpipe in Limousin and other areas of the Massif Central. The ''musette berrichonne'' was played in the northeast of Limousin, in Creuse. Other bagpipes, locally made or imported, are played throughout the region. Playing Main field researches have been conducted from 1975 to nowadays by ethnomusicologist and chabrette player Eric Montbel, and by the makers Claude Gira ...

Pieter Bruegel (also Brueghel or Breughel) the Elder ( , ; ; – 9 September 1569) was among the most significant artists of Dutch and Flemish Renaissance painting, a painter and printmaking, printmaker, known for his landscape art, landscapes and peasant scenes (so-called Genre art, genre painting); he was a pioneer in presenting both types of subject as large paintings. He was a formative influence on Dutch Golden Age painting and later painting in general in his innovative choices of subject matter, as one of the first generation of artists to grow up when religious subjects had ceased to be the natural subject matter of painting. He also painted no portraits, the other mainstay of Netherlandish art. After his training and travels to Italy, he returned in 1555 to settle in Antwerp, where he worked mainly as a prolific designer of old master print, prints for the leading publisher of the day.

Bagpipes
Bagpipes are a woodwind instrument using enclosed reeds fed from a constant reservoir of air in the form of a bag. The Great Highland bagpipes are well known, but people have played bagpipes for centuries throughout large parts of Europe, Northern Africa, Western Asia, around the Persian Gulf and northern parts of South Asia. The term ''bagpipe'' is equally correct in the singular or the plural, though pipers usually refer to the bagpipes as "the pipes", "a set of pipes" or "a stand of pipes". Bagpipes are part of the aerophone group because to play the instrument you must blow air into it to produce a sound. Construction A set of bagpipes minimally consists of an air supply, a bag, a chanter, and usually at least one drone. Many bagpipes have more than one drone (and, sometimes, more than one chanter) in various combinations, held in place in stocks—sockets that fasten the various pipes to the bag. Air supply The most common method of supplying air to the b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

French bagpipes cover a wide range and variety of styles of bagpipes and piping, from the Celtic piping and Music of Brittany to the Northern Occitan's cabrette. The Center-France bagpipes (called in French ''cornemuse du centre'' or ''musette du centre'') are of many different types, some mouth blown, some bellows blown; some names for these instruments include ''chevrette'' (which means "little goat," referring to the use of a goatskin for its bag), ''chabrette'', ''chabretta'', ''chabreta'', ''cabreta'', ''bodega'', and ''boha''. It can be found in the Bourbonnais, Nivernais, and Morvan regions of France.
