The Gaita-de-fole coimbrã is a type of old Iberian bagpipe. Along with the - a kind of cavaquinho, and the viola toeira - a traditional guitar, it is one of the most important traditional music instruments in the Beira Litoral Province. The Coimbra bagpipe belongs to the Iberian gaita-family. Unlike a Galician bagpipe, the chanter is thinner and smaller and presents an old "out-of-tune" scale, the drone is larger, heavy, but showing a fine woodturning job, and the old blow mechanism is primitive and very hard to handle. Also the goat skin is used in a different way from the North of Portugal and Galicia: the chanter goes to the "left" leg, the drone to the "right" leg, and the blow tube on the neck.
