The Cabrette, as can be seen immediately below, is a very versatile bagpipe. It is also an interesting pipe structurally. The visually tricky connection between the chanter and the drone is emphasized by the carved chanter stock - in some examples this carving is very elaborate, often in the shape of a head.

| The artistic style of union of the chanter and drone is not unique to this pipe - a similar connection can be seen between the two chanters of the French Musette de Cour (pipe no. 25). |  |
