Bodega (bagpipe)


 * For other uses, see Bodega.

Bodega or craba is an Occitan term for a type of French bagpipe played in Montagne Noire, particularly within the French departments of Tarn, Aude, Herault, and Haute-Garonne.

Construction
The bag is generally of goatskin (or sometimes sheepskin) in which are set wooden stocks to hold the pipes, generally of boxwood. The pipes include:


 * blowpipe (bufet) through which air is blown into the bag
 * chanter (graile) on which the melody is played, using a double-reed
 * drone (bonda) which sounds a continuous harmonising note. The drone rests on the shoulder of the player, and uses a single reed
