Description: The Croatian bagpipe is made of tanned sheep or goat leather. The gajdunica (chanter), dulac (blow pipe) and trubanj (drone) are made out of wood. Inside the bagpipe there are three single-blade reeds (one in the drone and two in the chanter). Wooden pieces are usually ornamented with tin. The Croatian bagpipe is a three-voiced instrument (many other bagpipes in the world have just two or one voices). Usually, it is in E tonality, although it can be made in D or F tonality. The most common tones that can be played on bagpipes in E tonality are: deeply lying E tone (bordun), E tone and kvarta B (right side of gajdunic"), and tones E, F#, G#, A, B, C# (left side of"gajdunica). The Croatian bagpipe is a very old instrument, and it is played throughout Baranja, Slavonija, Posavina to the Bjelovar and Krizevci.
