flute / whistle / wind instrument
Diple s mijehom

Hercegovina (Hutovo; Neum); NB: Even though Kuhač mentions the term 12 times [one of which even in connection with the organ], none of those references show any connection with this instrument; Moreover, neither Širola nor Gojković refer to him or his article as one of their sources in connection with this term.
