The hümmelchen is a small type of German bagpipe that was recorded in Syntagma Musicum by Michael Praetorius during the Renaissance. Early versions of the hümmelchen likely had chanters with two reeds and drones with one reed. The name “hümmelchen” may come from the Low German word hämeln, which means “trim.” This could describe the instrument’s small size, as if it were a smaller version of a larger bagpipe.
The musette de cour, also called the Baroque musette, is a type of Baroque bagpipe. It is known for having a short, round shuttle-drone and two chalumeaux. Both the chanters and the drones have a round shape inside and use a double reed, creating a soft sound similar to an oboe.

Shuttle pipes are a kind of bagpipes named after the special drones they use to create harmony. Unlike the long, tube-like drones found on most bagpipes, shuttle pipes use a shuttle drone. This drone is a tube that holds folded tubes inside.
The Scottish smallpipe is a type of bagpipe that uses a bellows to blow air, developed again by Colin Ross and others based on an older design. Examples of similar bellows-blown instruments from the past still exist, along with mouth-blown Montgomery smallpipes from 1757, which are kept in the National Museum of Scotland. Some instruments are made as exact copies of historical models, but most modern smallpipes are larger and produce a deeper sound.
