Diple, (pluralia tantum; pronounced [dîple̞], with some other Croatian names also called as "misnjiče", "miješnice" and "mih". [1] is a traditional woodwind musical instrument in Bosnian and Herzegovinan,[2] Croatian,[citation needed], Serbian[3][4][5] and Montenegrin music.[citation needed]
The flute
The diple, or dvojnice, may be found as a fipple flute or as a reedpipe, but in either case is distinctive in that it incorporates two bores within one body, and thus creates two notes simultaneously. Generally, the left hand fingers a group of holes on the left side of the body, and the right on its side.
Droneless bagpipes
All bagpipe diple have a double chanter with two separate single reeds, they originate in Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Dalmatia and they differ among themselves.[6] The bag of the bagpipes is called a meh, which consists of a tanned goat skin, the blowpipe is a dulac or gajdenica, through which the air is blown, which is in fact a double chanter used to play the melody and harmony simultaneously. The chanter incorporates two single reeds, one in each bore. The mijeh or diple is played from Istria all the way to Montenegro, in Lika, Dalmatian Hinterland and Bosnia and Herzegovina.[7][8]
Unlike the majority of European bagpipes, the meh has no drone (trubanj, prdalo, prdaljka), instead playing both a melody and harmony part on the chanter. Though their general form is similar, the meh in different parts of Bosnia varies in chanter tunings, ornamentation, and other small factors. The meh is an untempered instrument, and its specific intonation varies by region.
