Main field researches have been conducted from 1975 to nowadays by ethnomusicologist and chabrette player Eric Montbel, and by the makers Claude Girard and Thierry Boisvert. A significant step for the modern survival of the chabrette occurred in 1987, when the Department of Traditional Music of the Regional Conservatory of
Limoges undertook to promote the teaching of the chabrette repertory, and in 2003 formed the musical ensemble "Couleur Chabrette". == Discography ==
