A French bagpipe with a single chanter pipe, traditionally played in Brittany and other regions of France.
From Old French 'corne' (horn) combined with 'muse' (bagpipe), literally meaning 'horn pipe.' The term is specific to French and Breton musical traditions dating back centuries.
While Scotland has the great Highland bagpipe, France has the cornemuse—and Breton musicians say it sounds more like a folk lullaby than a battle cry!
