The triple flute - trojice, a three-pipe labial monoxyle flute, is crafted from one block of maple wood. There are three holes on the first pipe, four holes on the second pipe, and six holes on the third pipe. Finger-holes are also called "budža". The instrument is richly ornamented with carvings and burned.
When played, the three pipes are never played at the same time. There is a single flute on the one side, and a double flute on the other side. Each side is played separately.
