- For the smaller version of the oboe sometimes also called "musette," see piccolo oboe.
Musette can refer to several things:
- A type of bellows-blown bagpipe found in rural France; also called musette de cour). It experienced a brief popularity amongst the aristocracy (along with other "peasant" instruments like the hurdy gurdy) in 18th century France.
- An air or dance written for the musette (bagpipe) mentioned above, or a pastoral piece in imitation of the instrument. Imitative musettes were written by François Couperin and Johann Sebastian Bach for harpsichord, and by Marin Marais for viola da gamba.
- A keyless folk oboe or shawm used in various regional folk music traditions of France. Most forms are tuned several notes higher than the modern oboe. Some oboe makers also produce a keyed version of the musette (pitched in E♭ or F above the oboe) which is also sometimes called "piccolo oboe."
- A tuning used in accordions, also called "wet" tuning, where two or more sets of reeds are tuned slightly off pitch from each other, giving a vibrato effect.
- A style of French popular music (also called bal-musette) featuring the accordion, which flourished from the 1920s to the 1940s
- In cycling, a bag containing food handed out in a feed zone of a multi-stage race such as the Tour de France
- A variety of rucksack used by American soldiers during World War II
