Traditional Bombard Chanters By Muzikkon

Muzikkon is happy to present the Bombard, a traditional double-reed wind instrument that used to entertain kings and aristocratic courts. Today, it still inspires both students and professional musicians. The bombard came from France and is very similar to the shawm. It is still a prominent voice in Celtic and folk music.


The bombard has a conical bore, several finger holes, and a strong reed that make it sound bright and clear. It's great for outdoor performances, traditional ensembles, and band situations since it carries well. The bombard is known for its tremendous projection and unique sound, even though it is small.


At Muzikkon, we promise to only sell the best wind instruments, such bombards and chanters, that are made with care and attention to detail. Our instruments are made to satisfy your needs, whether you're a novice learning about traditional music or an experienced musician looking for the right sound.


Muzikkon makes sure that shipping is quick and dependable. Customers in Ireland and throughout the world can return items within 30 days after receiving them. Orders are shipped the same or next business day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Bombard and where does it come from?
The Bombard is a powerful double-reed instrument from the oboe family, traditionally used in Breton music from Brittany, France.
Is the Bombard difficult to play for a beginner?
It can be challenging because it requires significant breath pressure and "lip power" (embouchure) to produce its signature loud, bright sound.
What key is a standard Bombard usually tuned to?
Most traditional Bombards are tuned to the key of B♭, which allows them to play perfectly alongside bagpipes in traditional Celtic ensembles.
Do I need to soak the reed before playing the Bombard?
Yes, just like an oboe or bassoon reed, you should dip the tip of the reed in water for a minute or two to make it flexible and responsive before you start playing.
How loud is a Bombard compared to other flutes?
It is surprisingly loud! It’s designed to be heard outdoors and over other instruments, so it’s much more piercing than a standard flute or whistle.
Can I play modern music on a traditional Bombard?
While it’s built for folk tunes, you can certainly play modern melodies, though you might find its unique scale and volume best suited for upbeat, energetic tracks.
