A bombarde or some kind of bagpipe? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV2wyRbyOBU And is it meant to sound like that, or did they just hand something they found in a museum to the sax player and say "we want a couple of breaks of wacky ethnic stuff"? |

More precisely, we hear a valse-musette, differing in timing from other types of waltz. The accordion seems to be essential; melody instruments, if any, can vary. In the Verchuren recording, I guess we hear la musette alright, also called cabrette. Intonation is a hazard, but in a different manner from a kazoo. |

The squeaky bagpipe can be viewed as a fig leaf of genuine folklore in front of Verchuren's grand well-tempered accordion machine. |
