Diple (f) (plurale tantum)
original: дипле
double chanter, 1 piece: cylindrical, parallel / chanter + semidrone / 1 bell / single reeds
From Greek διπλός (dhyplos [double]); Ribare [SSE of Svrljig]; NB¹: Vukosavljević and, accordingly, Gojković enigmatically refer to the semidrone as the "ostinantne" Svirale; "Ostinato" refers, however, to a musical style only; In my perception the fact that a semidrone is often played in that style doesn't justify the use of that term to describe any (part of an) instrument; NB²: ➺ homonyms, &c.
Range: g¹-a¹-b¹-c²-d²-e(♭)² / Semidrone: d¹ / g¹ (ostinato); Length: 200-250 mm; Mainly made of plum (Prunus domestica).
NB: Example(s) to be replaced with staff-notation.
