In the Occitan region of Languedoc, and especially in the Montanha negre (Black Mountain) area, the bodega is played.

Pierre Rouch built this amazing instrument. He has taken it to the next level by using ebony and horn for the mounts, which looks quite striking against the boxwood.

This photo clearly shows the proportion of the bodega, a adult goat is used for the bag so it is quite large, and takes some lung power to get going.

Pictured here is a less fancy bodega we also offer. It plays equally as well as the fancier model we carry.
