biniou

The drone of the biniou is of boxwood, handsomely inlaid with tin, and has a single or beating reed hidden within the stock.

The sonneur de biniou is blind, and quite wrapped up in his art; he lives, as it were, in a world apart.

The orchestra—two violins, a reed-pipe, a biniou, and a harp—were playing away with might and main.

The biniou is rather like a small bagpipe and produces a wild, shrill sound.
