A drone pipe without fingerholes alongside a melody pipe. The reed is a thin, elongated U-shaped slice of the outer surface of the reed cane, cut just below a node. Beeswax is placed on the reed to regulate its weight. The reed section is placed wholly within the mouth. The player puffs out his cheeks and uses a circular breathing technique for a continuous sound. Used in folk music.
