The right pipe of the instrument has five holes, and the left one four. The lowest hole on each tube serves as the vent-hole. On the right pipe there is a thumb hole drilled a little higher than usual and thus has a melodic function. The thumb hole was drilled later and the earlier, the original one was capped with a wooden stopper and wax. The chanter is noticeably larger than the other specimens. The left pipe is cracked at the top and it was clogged with wax and stitched with wire. The bag is made of goatskin. The blowpipe has an inserted piece of rubber tubing, and one leg is blocked with a wooden stopper. The instrument is painted brown.

The right pipe of the instrument has four finger-holes, and the left one three. Already during the manufacture the left pipe was cracked and was therefore reinforced with iron rings. The stock is slightly concave on the front and on the rear side. The concavity slightly and gently spreads towards the chanters. The entire instrument is hand-decorated with dots and cruciform and parallel lines that create geometric motifs. The decorations are made with an incandescent wire. The pipes are made on a lathe, while the stock is completely handmade.
