The Biniou is a traditional Breton bagpipe from the region of Brittany in France. It is known for its distinct, high-pitched sound, which is produced by blowing air into a double-reed mouthpiece. The Biniou is often played during festive occasions, such as fest-noz (night festivals), where musicians gather to celebrate with lively music and dance. Typically made from wood and animal skins, the Biniou is accompanied by a drum called the bombarde. Together, they create a vibrant and energetic atmosphere that reflects the rich cultural heritage of Brittany. The Biniou is not just an instrument; it represents the spirit and traditions of the Breton people.
