The 4th-most-popular instrument in the 18th-century (by numbers of publications—after keyboard, violin, and flute) was the French Baroque chamber bagpipe, then called the musette. Hundreds of publications survive for this instrument, most of it chamber music by excellent composers unknown to modern audiences because they specialized in an instrument never heard today.
