musette

Bellows-blown pastoral pipe

A musette is a small French bagpipe popular in the 17th and 18th centuries, featuring a bellows rather than mouth-blown air.

The term extends to a soft, pastoral musical composition imitating this instrument's sound, often appearing as a movement in baroque suites.

In military contexts, a musette bag is a small canvas shoulder bag carried by soldiers.
