Editing Bagpipes (section)

=== Types of bagpipes ===
{{Main|List of bagpipes}}

Numerous types of bagpipes today are widely spread across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa as well as through much of the former [[British Empire]]. The name bagpipe has almost become synonymous with its best-known form, the [[Great Highland bagpipe]], overshadowing the great number and variety of traditional forms of bagpipe. Despite the decline of these other types of pipes over the last few centuries, in recent years many of these pipes have seen a resurgence or revival as musicians have sought them out; for example, the [[Uilleann pipes|Irish piping tradition]], which by the mid 20th century had declined to a handful of master players is today alive, well, and flourishing, a situation similar to that of the [[gaita asturiana|Asturian gaita]], the [[Galician gaita]], the Portuguese [[gaita transmontana]], the [[Aragon]]ese [[gaita de boto]], [[Northumbrian smallpipe]]s, the [[Breton people|Breton]] [[biniou]], the [[Balkan]] [[gaida]], the [[Romanians|Romanian]] [[cimpoi]], the Black Sea [[Tulum (bagpipe)|tulum]], the [[Scottish smallpipes]] and [[pastoral pipes]], as well as other varieties. Bulgaria has the [[Kaba gaida]], a large bagpipe of the [[Rhodope mountains]] with a hexagonal and rounded drone, often described as a deep-sounding gaida and the Dzhura gaida with a straight conical drone and of a higher [[pitch (music)|pitch]]. The [[Macedonian language|Macedonian]] gaida is structurally between a kaba and dzhura gaida and described as a medium pitched gaida.

In [[Southeast Europe|Southeastern Europe]] and [[Eastern Europe]] bagpipes known as '''''gaida''''' include: the {{Langx|sq|gajde, mishnica, bishnica}}, {{Langx|rup|gaidã}}, {{Langx|bg|гайда}} ({{Lang|bg-Latn|gaida}}), {{Langx|el|γκάιντα}} ({{Lang|el-Latn|gáida}}) {{Lang|el|τσαμπούνα}} ({{Lang|el-Latn|tsaboúna}}) or {{lang|el|ασκομαντουρα}} ({{lang|el-Latn|askomandoura}}), {{Langx|mk|гајда}} (''{{Lang|mk-Latn|gajda}}''), {{Langx|sh|gajda/гајда}}, {{Langx|tr|gayda}} also {{Lang|tr|tulum}} and {{Langx |uk| gayda / ґайда}}.

In Tunisia, it is known by the name "[[Mizwad|mezwed]]". It is used in the Tunisian pop music genre, also called [[mezwed]], that is named after the instrument.
