The diplica is a very old simple instrument that was once played in different forms in many regions of Croatia. Today, it is preserved only in Slavonia and Baranja. The diplica is usually made of reeds (although it can also be made from the wood of the elder tree, straw, or even from goose feathers). It contains a pipe with several (usually five) holes and a one-way valve also made of reed. Diplicas are most frequently made in the key of E (in this case the rest of the tones of a diplica are: E, F sharp, G sharp, A, B and C sharp), but they can also be made in the keys of C, D, F and G.
The diplica is an ancient, clarinet-like, single-reed instrument which was played in different forms in many parts of Croatia, but now survives only in the Baranja region. Due to the unique capabilities of the instrument and by using a special playing technique, one can achieve the effect of two-part playing.
