The diple consist of a chanter onto which an annular part and a stock are attached. The stock is conical. Two cylindrical pipes are bored through the chanter. The upper section of the chanter contains finger-holes (arranged 6:2). Tin is inserted on the bottom of the chanter.

The chanter is ornamented with carvings, engravings and low relief (shaped as a diamond). Horizontal and vertical lines are hatched on the back side of the chanter and they form ten fields. Both the stock and the annular part are decorated with engravings and low relief. A heart-shaped human head is carved in the middle of the stock.
