The Asturian bagpipe belongs to the group of aerophones with a flexible air reservoir and, in its most common form, consists of a mouth-blown blowpipe, a bass drone with a single reed, and a conical chanter with a double reed. The earliest surviving examples in Asturias date from the mid-19th century, although iconographic sources and written records suggest that the instrument may have been introduced as early as the Middle Ages (Fernández, 2008).
