The origins of Galician bagpipe are not only Galicia, but also Asturias and the east part of Leon province.
It has a chanter with double-blade reed (like in oboe), one or two bass drones with single-blade reeds, like that of clarinet. Chanter with a conical bore has 7 finger-holes and a hole for the left thumb on its backside. Finally, it terminates with 3 open holes on the hollow bell.
