The Template:Lang is a type of bagpipe. The word Template:Lang means 'bagpipe' in the Breton language.

There are two bagpipes called Template:Lang in Brittany: the traditional Template:Lang or Template:Lang (Template:Lang means 'old' in Breton; Template:Lang means 'small') and the Template:Lang or Template:Lang (Template:Lang means 'big'), which was brought into Brittany from Scotland in the late 19th century.<ref name=":0">Template:Cite web</ref> The oldest native bagpipe in Brittany is the Template:Lang, from which the Template:Lang is thought to be derived.

The Template:Lang is essentially the same as the Scottish great Highland bagpipe; sets are manufactured by Breton makers or imported from Scotland or elsewhere.

The Template:Lang has a one octave scale, and is very high-pitched with a soprano sound; it is tuned to play one octave higher than the bombard which it accompanies.<ref name=":0" /> More traditional forms have a single drone, while modern instruments sometimes have two. In the old days the leather used for the bag was usually from a dog's skin, but this is nowadays replaced by synthetic materials or other leathers which are easier to procure, like cow or sheep.

Traditionally it is played in duet with the Template:Lang, a double-reed instrument which sounds an octave below the Template:Lang chanter, for Breton folk dancing. The Template:Lang is typically used as part of a Template:Lang band, although it is sometimes also paired with a Template:Lang.
