Extensive discussion of Breton piping probably does not belong here, as Breton culture is distinct from French culture. Calum 11:43, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article refers to cornemuse de centre, and then goes on to say that cornemuse de centre includes cabrette, chabrette and several others. In my experience the cornemuse de centre is very specifically the bagpipe with a tenor drone in the same stock as the chanter and a bass drone over the shoulder. The cabrette, chabrette, bechonet etc are separate / different instruments. Wikipiper (talk) 23:02, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The cornemuse de centre is found in Nivernais, Bourbonais and Morvanais areas. But the Cabrette is Auvergne, the Chabrette is Limousin, The Boha is Landes / Gascony and the Bodega is Languedoc, as it says later in the article - so the article is currently contradicting itself!
