Chanter and drone reed(s); NB: ➺ homonym (reed of a Dudy wielkopolskie).

Chanter reed: up to 85 mm, with a tongue (Języczek) of 50 mm; According to Sobieska the drone reed measures 126 mm, with a tongue (Języczek) of 75 mm (which would imply that it is shorter than the drone reed of the Dudy wielkopolskie).
