Chabrette

The chabrette or chabrette limousine ( chabreta in Occitan the Limousin) is the Cornemuse played in the Limousin. An important work was completed at the Department of Traditional Music of the National Academy of Area (C.N.R.) of Limoges, where, since 1987, its practice and its repertory are taught.

This teaching gave place, in 2003, with the creation of the group Couleur Chabrette and with the recording of a disc which one can find the description and the extracts of the 22 beaches with: ''.

If the chabrette has like “geographical neighbors” the cabrette auvergnate and the haversack berrichonne, each one of these bagpipes is quite specific by its organology, its (its) history (S), its repertory and its technique of play.

The Périgord also knows a bagpipe named locally chabrette , which has common points with the chabrette limousine (mirror case, oboe with house, materials,…) but also of the differences (small size thus acute tonality, side bumblebee in the unison with the small bumblebee) which easily distinguish it from his/her “big sister” limousine.

The cabrette auvergnate (in fact of Parisian manufacture) has, in the Limousin as in much of other areas of the Massif Central, gradually replaced this local bagpipe and the haversack berrichonne played in the north-eastern part of the Limousin, into Hollow.

Other bagpipes, either of local manufacture, or of importation, were also practiced in the area.
