It has a [[Cone|conical]] shape and is the equivalent of the [[Brittany|Breton]] [[Bombard (music)|bombarde]]. It is often replaced by an [[oboe]] or a double reeded [[clarinet]] as seen in [[Armenian folk music|Armenian]] and [[Ukrainian folk music]]. Many varieties of the dulzaina exist in [[Spain]]. In the [[Valencian Community]], it is known as a ''dolsaina'' or ''xirimita'' and is accompanied by a drum called the ''tabalet''. The [[Catalonia|Catalan]] variety of the dulzaina is called a ''[[Gralla (instrument)|gralla]]'', and the [[Basque Country (autonomous community)|Basque]] variety is called a ''bolin-gozo''. In the region of [[Aragon]], especially in the town of [[Huesca]], the dulzaina is played along with ''gaitas de boto'', regional [[bagpipes]], and sometimes [[drum]]s. The instrument was first introduced in Spain through Arabic people.<ref>[http://usuarios.lycos.es/collatorrent/dolsaina.htm ''La dolçaina''] {{webarchive |url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090507173936/http://usuarios.lycos.es/collatorrent/dolsaina.htm |date=May 7, 2009 }}</ref> The dulzaina is also heard in a large portion of the region of [[Castilla y León]], where it frequently has keys over the holes. The instrument is deeply rooted in the folklore of [[Burgos]], [[Segovia]], [[Soria]], in some areas of [[Ávila (province)|Ávila]], [[Madrid]], [[Guadalajara]], [[Toledo, Spain|Toledo]], [[Cuenca Province (Spain)|Cuenca]], [[León (historical region)|León]] and [[Salamanca]], less extended in the [[Basque Country (autonomous community)|Basque Autonomous Community]] and widely used in [[Navarre]] and [[La Rioja (Spain)|La Rioja]].
