''Binioù'' means bagpipe in the Breton language. There are two bagpipes called ''binioù'' in Brittany: the traditional ''binioù kozh'' or ''biniou-bihan'' (''kozh'' means "old" in Breton, ''bihan'' means "small") and the ''binioù bras'' (''bras'' means "big"), which was brought into Brittany from Scotland in the late 19th century. The oldest native bagpipe in Brittany is the veuze, from which the binioù kozh is thought to be derived. The ''binioù bras'' is essentially the same as the Scottish Great Highland Bagpipe; sets are manufactured by Breton makers or imported from Scotland or elsewhere. The ''binioù kozh'' has a one octave scale, and is very high-pitched; it is tuned to play one octave higher than the bombard which it accompanies. 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 ''bombard'', a double reed instrument which sounds an octave below the ''binioù'' chanter, for Breton folk dancing. The ''binioù bras'' is typically used as part of a bagad band, although it is sometimes also paired with a bombard. ==Films== *''Of Pipers and Wrens'' (1997).
