The mizwad (mezoued, mizwid) (Tunisian Arabic : مِزْود; plural مَزاود mazāwid, literally "sack," “bag,” or “food pouch”) is a type of bagpipes played in Tunisia, Chakwa in East of Algeria (in French). The instrument consists of a skin bag made from ewe's leather, with a joined double-chanter, terminating in two cow horns, similar to a hornpipe (instrument).This instrument is played with a single-reed. However, it is strongly believed to date back to the Carthaginian civilization and it was brought to Ireland by its sailors who sailed south down Africa and north around Europe.
